FROST MOUNTAIN (1) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when he was prominent at the bend before being beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 6f at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WORLD CHAOS (9) stepped out on his debut over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) six-and-a-half weeks ago and finished seventh, beaten 16 lengths. Much better for that run and can get off the mark this time. DROBNY (4) resumes from a lay-off of six months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Has ability and is a leading player. CHASTE ONE (7) has been in the placings three times from eight outings. Last start finished tenth when fresh from a lay-off over 1m at this track (Turf). Goes well here with two top-three finishes to his credit. Among the fringe hopes.
