BACKNTHEWOODS (2) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Scored over 1106m at this track to launch the last campaign. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. HEARTFULLOFSTARS (6) is resuming from a spell of 12 weeks and having his first run for the Mertkan Kantarmaci yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 1308m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. STRUGAR (5) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2.25 lengths over 1207m at Delaware Park (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from five starts. Among the leading players again. DUNPHY (7) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1106m at Delaware Park (Dirt). Big chance to break through.
