SAFFA'S DAY (18) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by half a length over 6f at Keeneland (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four starts. Can measure up again. CLEAR THE AIR (6) went fast early over 5½f at Keeneland (Turf) last time and defied all challengers to score by 1.5 lengths. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. Multiple Group 2 placegetter BAD BEAT BRIAN (12) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when 11th, beaten 11 lengths, over 5½f in the G2 Twin Spires Turf Sprint Stakes at this track (Turf) after he got a long way back. Has further improvement to come and can find peak form this time. SURVEILLANCE (17) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Listed level at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
