CROWN THAT SAINT (9) was well in commission last start over 1m at Timonium (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Arnaldo Bocachica stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Expecting a bold showing. TOUCHED UP (8) is a four-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid third at Timonium (Dirt) over 1m after being in contention on the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. RESTRIKE (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 4½f at this track, beaten 15 lengths into eighth. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. GALACTIC GLORY (4) was below his best last time when tenth over 1m1/2f at Laurel (Turf), beaten 10 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
