BOURBON CHASE (5) held on well to finish second last start over 7f at Saratoga (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths when resuming. I Ortiz Jr gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning ways. NEURAL NETWORK (4) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1m1f at Saratoga (Dirt). Can improve enough to win this. SHADOW DRAGON (7) Placed in a Group 3. Gave a great sight last time over 1m at Saratoga when he raced up on the pace and fought on gamely only to be narrowly beaten. Has a good association with Junior Alvarado with a run of three top-three results. One of the main contenders. TWO'S A CROWD (3) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 2.25 lengths over 1m at Saratoga (Dirt) last time out. Not to be discounted.
