COCKTAILS AT NOON (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fifth. Sheldon Russell gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Has the talent to take this out. SPEEDY ALEX (2) got home by 0.1 lengths last time out over 1m at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at this track with two wins and four minor placings. Has a high cruising speed. Best form puts him right in this. NOTMYFIRSTRODEO (3) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing fourth last time out over 1m1/2f at this track. Jg Torrealba has registered two minor placings when on board. One of the main contenders. When resuming over 6f at aqueduct (dirt), beaten 10 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Should give backers a sight.
