MISCHIEF JOKE (3) settled well back and never came on when resuming last start, finishing fifth and beaten 17 lengths over 7f at Listed level at Saratoga (Dirt). Won't find this as tough so he is set to turn things around. STARS N STONES (2) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in the firing line on the bend before finishing second over 6f at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners. HAY HAY HARRY (4) finds it hard to win with just one success from 11 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1m at Gulfstream Park. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. AELFGAR (5) is yet to break through in eight runs but has been thereabouts. Placed in a then was 7 lengths away in fourth over 5½f at this track (Dirt) last time. Drawn out but has a strong finish. Suited here and can sneak into the finish.
