TUXEDO PARK (1) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 5f in stakes class at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Looks the one to beat. FLOODLITES (2) stepped out on his debut over 5½f at Saratoga (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 16 lengths. Blinkers come off and he stripsh fitter. Sure to go well. ZANDVOORT (8) is on debut for the Steven Asmussen stable. Two-year-old colt by Good Magic from Mellonbrook. Must be kept safe, particularly if there is a market lead. CHASES MAGIC (4) is a two-year-old colt at the races for the first time. From a strong family that has produced at black type level, being by Complexity from Narrow Sea. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Thomas M Amoss stable. Promising type who is worth considering if popular in betting.
