CONTRABAND EARLY (11) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. DONEGAL DREAMER (10) is yet to break through in six runs. Finished fifth at his last appearance over 7½f at this track (Turf) on April 26. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. MONOLITH (12) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound third over 1m1/4f at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) after being prominent at the corner. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. TEMPLE OF PEACE (4) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 8 lengths back in sixth over 1m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be thereabouts.
