Stake: $917

KATSUMOTO (1) hit the frame with a close-up second two runs back then claimed an A3 by 1.5 lengths at this track over 400m (24.41) last time. Up a grade but in form now and is the one to beat again. DADS LITTLE PLUM (4) is down a grade after missing the frame two back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A1 at this track over 400m (24.56). Well placed this class and looks a key runner based on best form. EL HOMBRE VIEJO (5) is a last start placegetter in an A1, jumping from this trap and finishing a 4.5 lengths second over 400m at this track. Boasts a strong record off this same box, including six wins and 12 placings from 31 starts. Can measure up. MAKEIT BIGCHEEKS (2) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Showed little last start over 400m at this track when beaten 9 len (24.80) behind Short Story on June 2. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but could manage only third (24.56) over 400m at this track. Has an exceptional 24 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.
