UNCLE GEORGE (4) started at 4/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 4½f. Finds a nice race and can make amends. POP COYER (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but impressed when returning from a break last time at this track (Dirt), finishing second and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 4½f after being prominent at the corner. Has started five times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SKYLER'S STARSHIP (2) is returning from a lay-off of seven months. Finished fourth at Belmont Park (Turf) over 5f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer M A Ferraro. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. STEWIE (3) was too good for a maiden field last start over 4½f at this track (Dirt), scoring by 1.3 lengths. Re-unites with J R Jr Davila who was on board last start. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again.
