ILLUSION (3) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at Keeneland, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Has the class to take this out. YES TO CHAMPAGNE (8) resumes from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish 12th at the latest run over 7½f at Gulfstream Park (Turf). Good chance to break through. GOURMET (1) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish fourth over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Worth including in this suitable contest. SONGMAKER (7) went forward over 6½f at Keeneland (Dirt) on debut last start but found a couple better. Can sneak into the finish again.
