NAFTIS (3) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1609m at Los Alamitos after being in contention on the corner. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. ALAN'S CONQUEST (4) recorded his maiden win three back and is ready to score again after a couple of recent minor placings, the latest when second at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Is a winner at this circuit. Leading contender. HERMELINDA'S FANCY (2) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 14 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 905m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. UPDRAFT (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Los Alamitos, beaten 9 lengths into fourth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
