SACROSANCT (2) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1m in stakes class at this track (Dirt) last start to make it three straight. Manuel Franco aboard again and should be in the finish. SOONTOBEKING (10) went forward last start over 6f in stakes class at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 5.5 lengths. Will be handy in transit despite the tricky draw. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. BOLD FORTUNE (5) scored last start in stakes class at Finger Lakes (Dirt) to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Should be involved in the finish. FRIEND OFTHE DEVIL (1) broke his maiden last start over 6f at this track (Turf), scoring by 6 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Christopher Elliott who was on board last start. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again.
