SECRET LOVER (4) is getting close to a win based on some solid recent form, the latest effort a second over 1m1/2f at Listed level at this track (Dirt) against tougher opposition. Sure to be prominent. KHOOLZAN (5) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 5 lengths into second over 7f at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. TIZ MARKS SPIRIT (2) is a three-start maiden who finished ninth at his most recent appearance over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic) after he gave away a big start. Worth including in this suitable contest. HEAD LAD (1) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 7f at Keeneland (Dirt). Has ability so don't underestimate.
