ARMY OFFICER (7) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing eighth over 1m in Listed grade at Kentucky (Turf) six-and-a-half months ago. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best form puts him right in this. QUADRA ISLAND (6) is closing in on a win, last time out finishing second over 1m2f at this track (Synthetic) when just 0.1 lengths from the winner. Back in trip and looks a winning chance. EL KABONG (3) last appeared six weeks ago over 1m at this track when he finished third. This is his first run for the Jesus Esquivel stable. Can measure up for the new barn. TAKE ME TO CHURCH (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at this track (Synthetic) over 6f after he was well back on straightening. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
