MORE THAN FIVE (4) backs up 10 days after he was well-supported at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) and finished second over 6f. Good effort last start and is capable of taking this out. MAUNA KEA BOUND (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 7f at Gulfstream Park, beaten 11 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SOUND DOCTRINE (8) was well fancied when resuming last start over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) when eighth, beaten 1.5 lengths. Keith J Asmussen stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Fitter and capable of playing a big role. QUARRYMEN (7) produced a better run last start, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth over 1m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
