MODERN (5) impressed when successful on debut over 1207m at this track (Dirt) two months ago. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. BOORAY (3) was a winner over 1308m at Keeneland (Dirt) last time, racing on the pace before getting the upper hand and scoring by 0.3 lengths. Looks the testing material again. SMART N CENTSIBLE (7) broke through for his maiden win over 1308m at Keeneland (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is one of the main chances. MR FETE (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1207m at Keeneland, beaten 20 lengths. Nicely placed to play a leading role.

At the latest run ran second last of 7 at this track on November 4 over 1207m, 30 len behind Braums Run with 54.5kg at $18.53. The run before that ran second last in a small field at this track on September 11 over 1207m, 10 len behind Title Worthy carrying 54.5kg at $15.64. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Racing well recently. At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a 0.3 len at Keeneland on October 16 over 1308m defeating Red Sun with 54.5kg at $2.21. The run before that 3rd in a small field at this track on September 24 over 1207m, 4 len behind Mr Fete carrying 55.5kg at $4.15. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot.
