SPUN NOT STIRRED (4) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BOWTIE BOYS (5) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track ten months ago. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and shapes as a key contender. SMILING TIZZY (3) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 3.5 lengths when sixth over 1308m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Has the talent to find the winners' list. TEE N OFF (6) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 6 lengths away in sixth over 1106m at Los Alamitos. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
