KICKSTART (1) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at this track (Dirt) before finishing second, beaten 2 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AFLOAT (5) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 1106m at this track when returning from a spell. Erik Barbaran who has two wins when partnering stays on. Will strip fitter so expect him to feature. SPECTACULAR D'ORO (6) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing sixth over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) seven months ago which was the only run of that prep. Has a strong fresh record including a win and one minor placings. Record here is impressive with two wins from five starts. Capable of a big run. SUN OF WAR (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1609m at this track. This looks a good race for him and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
