SUGAR BUZZ (1) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1m at this track. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and is among the leading chances. SPARKLET (6) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1m at this track (Turf) after being prominent from the outset. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ARIO (2) is back from a lay-off of ten weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 6f at Emerald Downs (Dirt). Will be hard to stop. HOT LEGS ROMOLO (5) showed good early dash and led for much of the way over this course and distance last time, eventually fading to finish fourth and beaten 2. 5 lengths. Yet to win this track and distance but has recorded three minor placings from four attempts. Has to be respected.
