RACE COMMENT
Really making an impression in his last few starts, CALLING BUDDY (2) comes up with the gate to chase a fourth successive victory. Eased early before being sent around them last start, he was too strong. He can press the button early here and look to dictate. ATTACHMENT (8) will be requiring a slice of luck from this gate to find the space with available time to issue a challenge. Firing out from gate 7 before releasing last start in a strong 3YO contest, he had been runner-up in successive starts behind THE JANITOR. HAVEYOUCHECKEDIN (10) is on the back up from Tuesday where he was able to overcome gate 7 and finishing strongly for the prize. Tempo will aid his chances of grabbing the repeat. AQUA SANCTA (4) continues to fly under the radar and was attacking the line from deep field here last week when runner-up to ROCKNPENNY. Positioning cheaply will be key.
