PLENSA clocked one of the best times in a workout a few days ago and looks the one to fall in with. Dublin's Knight clocked a good time on latest start and should also give a good account. Nomolimbo also demands consideration.

Yet to win in two appearances. Better effort when short head second in maiden special weight at Gulfstream Park when last seen. Good last-time-out run is accompanied by a decent timefigure. Has decent credentials so good chance will figure prominently.

Remains a maiden. Better form when 1¾ lengths third in maiden special weight at Gulfstream Park on most recent start. Opponents today aren't as classy as those last time.

Has run just the once to date when 8¾ lengths seventh in maiden special weight at Fair Grounds. Plenty to find on the figures and looks firmly out of depth.
