Groomed makes his belated reappearance and has yet to encounter fast ground, while Rio Park doesn't look good enough. Pivot Bridge will need further improvement to figure though Lady Gar Gar isn't out of this if back to her best. Polytrack winner Falmouth Bay has been well beaten in three starts on turf but may do better dropped in class here, but this looks a good opportunity for CORSICANRUN. He's looked a non-stayer on both starts over 1m2f since winning over 7f here in September and today's shorter trip can see him back to winning ways.
