AQUITANIA ARRIVAL (1) was well in commission last start over 1308m at this track (Synthetic) when fourth, beaten 2 lengths. Record at this track is strong. Sure to go well. WHERE YOU WAS (2) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1207m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FACE DOWN (5) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1308m at this track (Synthetic). Has a good record here at this journey with four wins and four minor placings from 11 starts. One of the main contenders. WE CALLED SOL (3) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 0.3 lengths to spare over 1308m at this track (Synthetic). Has a terrific record here with three wins and four minor placings from seven starts. Must be respected. Something for the Multiples: SHOWDOWN KING (4)
