MOON FALL (1) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 7f at this track, beaten 15 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to make amends. GRUMPY'S BUDDY (6) has switched yards since finishing second eight weeks ago over 1m1/2f at this track. Likely to play a major role. STRIVE FOR STRIDE (2) was a gutsy winner last time over 6½f at this track (Dirt), scoring by one length and making it two wins in a row. Among the leading chances again on recent runs. MY BUDDY FRANK (10) was easily accounted for when fourth last start over 6½f at Timonium, beaten 22 lengths after a good win on debut at this track. In the mix.
