VAUNTED (3) went forward last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CONNECT THE BROCKS (5) improved last time out, finishing one length from the winner in second at the end of 6f at this track after being in contention on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CASHEL KITTEN (4) returned from a lay-off a month ago when he was beaten 11 lengths into ninth over 5½f at Saratoga. Tackling a more suitable race so he is a major player. RETAIL MAN (6) fought on for third last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
