KARAOKE (7) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months and is having his first outing under new trainer Bonnie Birzer. Finished eighth at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) over 1673m at the opening run last time in work. Sure to take some beating. BOBBY MERLOT (4) ran a strong third over 1308m at this track (Dirt) two runs back then was below his best last time over 1609m when fifth, beaten 12 lengths. Appeals back in trip this time so should run well. GOLD CAPO (1) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start when he made late ground but found a couple better over 1006m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. RITE ON SAM (2) has switched yards since finishing eighth a month ago over 1308m at this track.
