BUSK (1) scored by half a length last start at Colonial Downs (Dirt) over this distance after he was in contention on the bend. Is yet to miss the frame from 10 starts at this distance, including eight wins. Carlos Barbosa has been the pilot at his last seven wins. Leading contender. TURN UP THE TREES (4) went forward last start over 6f at Ellis Park (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 1.75 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. SHAPE NOTE (8) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 5.5 lengths over 6f at Ellis Park (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with seven wins and four minor placings from 18 runs. Among the leading players again. SPYCRAFT (7) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 6f at Fairmount Park (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can fill another top-three spot.
