B THE KING (1) closed last prep 12 weeks ago when he finished sixth over 1408m at this track. Looms large. BACCARO POINT (7) made progress last start to finish third over 1408m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. SURE SHOT TIMBER (5) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish third last time over 1207m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will drift back but wind up late. Big chance to break through. INSTANT RESPONSE (3) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at WOODBINE but raced below expectations last time over 1609m at WOODBINE, finishing sixth and beaten 15 lengths. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
