Good pace expected with Arlington Action, Flashy Apache and Zip Code paving the way. TEXAS MISSILE (4) is a promising type who scored only try this trip before a spell. Showing good ability in three runs to date and has upside. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope. REAL STUNNER (5) won by an absolute space last time and looks suited by the extra ground now. Another win cannot be ruled out. ARLINGTON ACTION (3) was well off best last time but previous form sound and has a great record course and distance. Can do much better. MILITARY MOVES (9) stepped up to this trip second-up and rallied strongly to score a maiden win. Fitter and can measure up again.
