BARFLY (3) broke through for his maiden win over 4½f at this track (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Looks well placed and he is a leading contender. WAR SMOKE (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. CONNECT THE BROCKS (6) has not appeared since he finished fourth over 1m at Aqueduct (Dirt) on March 17. Has found the right race and is worth including. PARTY NEWS (5) was always well back last start at the first run of this campaign and never threatened, finishing seventh over 1m1/4f at Parx (Dirt). Backmarker who keeps coming. Can run on into the finish.
