BARJOUJ (1) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1710m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic), finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Can open winning account this time. PIKE (5) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 3 lengths from the winner in third over 1308m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Has the talent to build on that encouraging effort last start. WOODSTER (4) is a seven-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Expected to feature in the finish this time. MALBEC (2) resumes from a spell of 14 months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has ability and must be included in calculations.
