DOC O'CONNOR (2) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but was below par last time when out of the placings at this track over 1000m after he was prominent at the corner. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DAKOTA LEE (1) resumed last start over this trip at this track and scored by 5.5 lengths. Unbeaten here in 11 starts. Expect a bold showing. BRAT (4) sat on the pace last start until tiring to finish ninth, beaten 10 lengths, over 1200m at this circuit. Form here at this distance is sound with two wins and three minor placings from six starts. One of the main contenders. ZOURATA (3) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 3 lengths over 1200m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
