Monte Cassino's recent C&D victory was his first win in 32 starts so it's difficult to see him following up off a higher mark, while though Bird Dog won his maiden over track and trip earlier this month with Bint Elnadim behind he was well beaten over 5f here back in handicap company last week. Fluctuation finished second the last time he raced at this track in October and could figure but the vote goes to NAFA. A winner at Ayr in August, she went close over the minimum trip here a week ago and is well worth another try over today's extra furlong.
