ROWAN AUGUST (4) was never really in the hunt last time, drifting back early and winding up 20 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1m at this track (Dirt). Must respect the stable decision to remove the blinkers. Major player. ROCKSALOT (3) is a seven-start maiden who finished sixth, beaten 10 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at this track (Dirt). Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. WARREN'S C J (2) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish third, beaten 10 lengths. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is one of the main contenders. ROAD RULES (7) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 1m at Santa Anita (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths. Cannot be dismissed.
