AWESOME CRUSADER (7) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a third at Gulfstream Park (Turf) over 1609m when he was beaten 3.5 lengths. Great chance to finally return to the winners' circle. AWESOME BOURBON (9) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic), finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1106m. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. EL COHETE (10) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance nine months ago over 1308m at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect. ITS TIME TO SHINE (5) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1308m at this track. Among the better hopes.
