DARK BARON (2) was flying with three wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing third over 1609m at this track. Key runner who can make amends. HOT GUNNER (1) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win over 1609m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length after he came with a powerful finish. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GUCCI MAN (4) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1609m at Belterra Park Turf (Turf), making it two minor placings in a row. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. REINVEST (6) missed the frame last time when fifth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions. Anthony Rodriguez who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Deserves respect.
