KICKSTART (2) started this campaign with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when second over 6f at this track, beaten 8 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Becerra Fernando Salazar is a key engagement. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. AFLOAT (1) is a distance specialist who finished fifth two runs back at Thistledown (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by a nose after being in the firing line on the corner over 6f at this track (Dirt). No reason he cannot salute again. MAGIC MOTOWN (6) is a handy type who resumes after a break of ten weeks. At his last appearance he finished fifth over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt), beaten 12 lengths. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a lay-off in two starts. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will give backers a great sight. WASABI BEACH (5) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when fourth over 6f at this track, beaten 11 lengths. One of the main hopes.
