GROUNDED (2) finished 11th at Churchill Downs (Turf) over this distance last time out. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from four starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best figures should see him run well. EDDIE THE GREAT (3) was a new acquisition for the Gerald S Bennett stable last start when he made steady ground to run into second over 1609m at this track (Turf) at the first run back from a spell. One of the genuine hopes in the race. RIGEL (5) is back from a break of ten weeks. Put together back-to-back wins before going for a spell, the most recent at Meadowlands (Turf) over 1710m. Form at this distance is strong with four wins from six starts and shapes as a key runner. HEATHGUARD (7) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a break last start. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
