IMPAVIDO (5) started at $4.92 last time on the back of a win at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best, finishing eighth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the turn. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MCILROY (1) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing tenth over 1308m at this track (Dirt) 32 days ago. Well placed to make amends. VINO DOMINUS (6) has switched yards since scoring by 3 lengths at this track over 1609m on May 31. Can measure up for the new barn. WAR MUNNY (8) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish second, beaten 10 lengths, over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Must be included.

Recent form sound. Most recently won by 3.5 len at this track June 12 over 1308m defeating Lennie G with 53.5kg at $10.84. The run before that raced on the pace when 3rd of 9 at this track on May 10 over 1408m, 7 len behind Richeztoo carrying 53.5kg at $4.26. Broke through last time and is worth thought again.
