PISCO (5) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 4 lengths when fourth in a 6½f contest at this track four weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MAKENA'S JOY (1) settled well back last time then wound up strongly in the straight to finish third over this journey at this track. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and four placings from eight tries. Sure to run well. FORCED TO RUN (7) is yet to break through after 11 starts. Placed in a then last time out was fourth, beaten 7 lengths, over 6½f at this track. Should be parked just off the speed despite the draw. Finds a nice race and can measure up. CAMPTOWN LADY (4) was a determined winner two runs back then raced on the speed last time before finishing third over 1m1/2f at this track. Should park just off the speed. Deserves respect on best figures.
