MASTER KEY (7) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when he was prominent throughout over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. KEN VIVALDI (10) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths starting at $3.90. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. KITANO RYAN (6) ran below his best last start when beaten 6 lengths into seventh from a wide draw over today's course and distance. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Should be involved in the finish. NANSEI TIME (9) improved last start to finish third over 1200m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
