A big field of runners who look like they have been waiting for a run on the turf. ROCKIE BLUE looked unlucky not to win on debut and finished off his race nicely in his second start. Those runs were on the Polytrack and he will need to prove himself on the turf, but he is the one to beat. BOURNE SUPREMACY, DOWN TOWN CODY and SUSURRANDO all make their local debuts and are capable of improvement. RIVER FERN is knocking loudly at the door and could go one better. FOCAL POINT returns from a break but did run well behind a runner that has won a couple of times since then.
