Track: FAST      

ART JORDAN (4) has been competitive with top-four finishes in each of his four starts since a spell and kept the ball rolling last time when third at this venue. Race fit and his consistency is hard to knock. Leading hope. DREAM BOYZ (7) could be close to a win after seconds in two of his last three stars here, the latest from a similar draw to this. MELTON ENFORCER (8) can measure up with his A-game while SPEED WRITER (3) will be fitter for recent racing and a good draw can see improvement.
