TESSUTO (4) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations when resuming at Del Mar (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 5. 5 lengths over 7f. Umberto Rispoli gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. SCATIFY (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was in the firing line all the way over 1m at Del Mar (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. THIRTY TWO CHUNK (1) was below his best last time, finishing 11th and beaten 10 lengths over 6f at Del Mar (Dirt). Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. MR MACHUPICCHU (8) meets a moderate line-up and does tend to run well here at the journey finishing in the frame three of five tries. Has the pace to be thereabouts early and expected to run a strong race.
