Captain Amante takes a drop in class but was gaining his first-ever victory on his 42nd start last month which hardly inspires confidence of a follow-up. However, he had Witts Hurricane in second that day and should confirm the form though he had earlier finished behind Auctioneer over the extended 6f track. The latter has been unplaced in three starts over this trip including last time when SPUNKY KITTEN finished runner-up. Mark Lemburg's charge scored over the track and trip in March and looks set for another victory.
