SICILIAN DEFENSE (7) scored on turf over 1m1/2f at this track two starts ago then couldn't find the top-three on dirt over 1m1/4f at this track more recently. Jose Ortiz sticks. Sure to play a big role. STORM READY (15) was in the money on the dirt at this track two runs ago then backed it up with a win, also on dirt, at this track over 1m1/2f three weeks ago. Hard to knock on current form. Follow up. SAND PIPES (3) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten 0.3 lengths into second over 1m at this track (Turf) after being prominent from the outset. Nicely placed to find winning ways. MY BOY TONY (11) was going well before a lay-off with three straight minor placings. Proven when resuming performer back from a break of 12 weeks. Has a good association with Luis Saez with a run of three top-three results. One of the better hopes.
