SUNRISE DRIVE (3) finished 9 lengths behind the winner in eighth over 1710m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Eswan Flores who has three wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender. CRUCIAL TAUNT (7) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing seventh over 1408m at this track 54 days ago. Better than the last run suggests. NINJA STAR (10) did little and finished 6 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1710m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Woodbine the run before. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he can find the winners' list. MILITARY FORCE (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1408m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to find some form.
