TAKEMETOTHEBEACH (1) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1710m at this track when beaten 1.3 lengths. Has a formidable record at this journey with two wins and two placings from five starts and shapes as a key contender. LIKE THE KING (5) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but was below par last time when out of the placings at this track over 1811m. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. WATSONVILLE RED (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fifth in a 1811m contest at this track six weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. COOL KISS (2) ran a better race when second-up last start, finishing 2.75 lengths away in fourth over 1811m at this track. Well placed to turn things around.
