CONCRETE GLORY (5) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 4 lengths win over 1m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt).Has a solid record at this journey with five wins from 13 starts and is a leading contender.OPTIMAL COURAGE (1) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 5½f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt).Should be prominent from the low draw.Sure to be in the finish.JUNIOR BUG (8) was close to breaking through last start when beaten a nose into second over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after being in contention all the way.It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders.CARAMEL CHIP (3) ran well below his best last time over 7f at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths into fourth at 4/6.Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed.Should give backers a sight.
