COUPERIN (3) started at 13/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing tenth and beaten 18 lengths at this track (Turf) over 1m1/4f. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. DUKE OF DOOLY (2) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) last time out. Should be poised just off the lead. Likely to feature. MCMAGIC (6) hit the frame two starts ago at Monmouth Park but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 26 lengths over 1m1/4f at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is one of the main contenders. TAPORICAL (5) is fitter for two runs back from a lay-off, progressing nicely last time to finish second, beaten 1.75 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Generally goes well here. Will run a decent race with race fitness now on board.
