MAGNIFICENT MILE (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 24 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. WHENLOVETAKESOVER (4) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight, beaten 24 lengths into sixth. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. SUGAR GRAY LEONARD (6) settled well back when 9 lengths from the winner in 12th over 1m1/2f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his seventh at Saratoga the run before. Has the ability to take care of this field. DEVIL'S CAY (8) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 6f at Finger Lakes (Dirt) when beaten 5 lengths. Commendable record at this trip with a win and four minor placings and is a key contender.
