MY MAN MAGOO (9) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when one length away in third over 6f at this track (Turf). Should camp just off the leaders. Heading the right way and is expected to prove tough to beat. HARD CIRCLE (3) finished out of the placings last time and beaten 16 lengths when seventh over 1m at Listed level at Laurel (Dirt). Rates a top chance and can take this out. APPLE JAX (12) is a two-year-old colt who lines up for the first time. From an elite family that includes a G1 victor, being by Speightstown from the stakes winner Authenticity. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Looks set to make a positive start to his career despite a tricky stall. MCHALE (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
