CAPTCHA (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1710m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to take this out. SIMO (5) has switched yards since finishing ninth a week-and-a-half ago over 1609m at this track. Expecting a bright start for the new mentor. EXCUSES (1) showed good pace over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) last time and dug deep to score by 0.3 lengths. Tackling a more suitable race so he is sure to prove hard to beat. CRYPTONYM (2) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 17 lengths, over 1710m at this track. Strong top-three chance.
