CAT BAY (7) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1100m at this track, an improvement on her ninth at this track the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. AFIRMATE GATO (5) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing ninth over 1100m at this track. Open to improvement and is among the chances. MIND THE GAP (11) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when sixth over 1100m at this track three weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. MAKKRIX (14) was below his best last time when seventh over 1100m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Finds a nice race and can atone.
