BOURBON BOSS (7) is back at the races for the first time since February 2. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 7f at Kentucky. One of the genuine hopes in the race. FIREFIGHT (11) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and led into the straight before faded out of it, finishing sixth over 1m at Kentucky (Turf). Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. MISCHIEVOUS M (8) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 6f at this track (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. VELOCIRAPTOR (1) debuted eight weeks ago when he finished fourth over 6f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature.
