GONCORA (2) is a promising galloper who won at his last run before a break a year ago over 1710m at this track (Turf). Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Best figures should see him run well. DOUBLE NEAT (8) made it two wins on the bounce last start when he scored by 0.1 lengths over 1509m at Gulfstream Park (Turf). This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is capable of testing his rivals. GROOT (11) is a four-year-old import having his first run for the Craig Robert Smith stable. Has not raced since he finished off last campaign with a win over 1106m at Woodbine nine weeks ago. Hasn't trialled publicly for the new connections but he is a definite winning chance. CHARLES J (6) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 6 lengths over 1609m at this track (Turf). Expected to do far better this time.
