HOMBRE DE GUERRA made mistakes on his reappearance here last month but still moved ahead of the odds-on Joshua Des Flos on the run-in to claim second spot and he could go one better today if making further progress. Florida Dreams won both bumpers last season, including a Grade 2, but he was turned over when making his hurdling debut over course and distance and may need more time. Dream Boy may be best of the rest ahead of Valleyview Tommy and Indian Louis.
