PANCHO MALO (12) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. CALIFORNIA DADDY (15) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. GOOD PARTNER (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when eighth over 1400m at this track nine days ago. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. RIO CANELO (5) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1200m at this track when beaten 3 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. Not to be discounted.
