Special Report was second in a conditionals' race over this track and trip 12 days ago when Bennys Quest was eight lengths away in third and Sweet Sugar and Diamond Tammy even further behind. He has every chance of going one better with Mikey Hamill claiming 10lb, though he's still a maiden after 33 attempts. ACAPULCO BAY knows where the winning post is and is fit from the Flat. He gets a tentative vote in a weak finale, though the returning Exemplary would have a chance if fully wound-up.
