NEXT ON STAGE (2) has returned in good order this campaign. Opened with a third at Aqueduct (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by 12 lengths as public elect last time out over 1m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish again. Group 3 placegetter YATTA (1) resumes from a lay-off of seven months after closing off last campaign with three consecutive minor placings. Expected to go well. PLANET CLARE (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1m at Laurel (Dirt). Has the talent to take this out. JUST GREAT (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1m1/2f at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
