ESPRESSO (1) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 7f at this track three months ago. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. Will give a great sight. JUBA'S HAT TRICK (2) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Nicely placed to take this out. DIVINE CHILD (6) settled well back then found the line nicely to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over this journey at Laurel (Dirt) last time out. Will be putting in the big strides late. SUMMONING DENIS (9) really dug deep to salute by half a length three runs back at this track (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and four placings from seven tries. Can figure in the outcome.
