NICKAJACK CAVE has won two of his three starts having been unraced last year, and he should continue to improve for a while, so is taken to get the better of Wentwood, who will find this easier than the Grade 3 at Golden Gate Fields he contested last time. Cuban Hope caught a handicap blot last time, but still has a positive profile, and is also considered.
