TIJUANA (15) might be ready to do something third up now and dropping sharply in weight. Two runs back have been okay and he did improve last start at this track and distance. Third up now, this is tougher but he's a Group 2 winner and gets a bit in his favour. NICOLINI VITO (5) continues to race well. Two runs back from a spell have been good, finishing fourth in the G3 Bletchingly Stakes last time out. Goes well at this track and trip and is right in the mix. POLAND (9) struggles to win but put in a strong effort second up at Caulfield, showing speed and only run down very late by one much wider. Should give a sight again. REGARDSMAREE (7) is the best roughie. He has excellent third up stats and is crying out for 1400m. Certainly good enough at his best, don't leave him out of exotics.
