AND THE RUNNER IS (2) will find this a little easier than his second on debut six weeks ago, beaten 1.3 lengths at the end of 1710m at this track (Turf). Handy draw will assist so he is worth following up. HARBAUGH (1) was unplaced on debut then last start finished second over 1710m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MOTAWAALI (9) improved last time out, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1106m at SARATOGA after being prominent at the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. GOLD ON BLACK (11) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at SARATOGA (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 12 lengths. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up.
