WELLSWORT (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1609m at Golden Gate Fields (Turf) after being in the firing line all the way. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to figure in the finish. RICH GOLD (1) set the tempo last time out and boxed on to finish a nose from the winner in second at this track (Dirt) over 1673m. Top chance in a nice race for him. AZURE STAR (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ITS THIEVERY (3) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1609m at Golden Gate Fields (Synthetic), finishing second and beaten 2.25 lengths. Can play a big role.
