Plenty of speed with Mucho Dinero, Garrix and Magic Verse leading Rascallion and Otto Luyken. GARRIX (2) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a three time winner including last start when scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1600m at Group 3 level at this track. Races well here and will go close again. LA PULGA (4) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by half a length over today's journey at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins and a placing. Leading player. RASCALLION (1) was back from a spell last start and finished fifth over 1600m at Group 3 level at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Overall record is sound when second-up and has a decent record at this longer journey. Ready to find best form. BILLY BOWLEGS (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth. Capable of featuring prominently.
