Track: AW      

Fast pace assured with Captain Casanova, Cool Winter and Transact leading the charge. GIMME'S LADDIE (3) ran on well when winning fresh-up from a spell over this course and distance last start. He meets similar rivals here and can follow up with another victory. COOL WINTER (2) is better than his last start run would suggest. He drops back in class and with a bit of luck from the widest draw, he should be fighting out the finish. TRANSACT (4) raced from a handy position last time, but was outrun late. All three of his career victories have come over this distance and has to be considered. BETHEL (9) resumed from a spell and ran a good race when a neck second of nine over this course and distance last start. He set the pace and fought hard all the way to the line. He would have come on from the run and should be hard to peg back.
