ALLIED ATTACK (5) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over 1m at Saratoga (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Faces an easier assignment so he is perfectly placed to make amends. POP COYER (9) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Should be on-pace despite the tricky draw. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. VAUNTED (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 0.8 lengths away in second over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. STARS N STONES (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 5½f at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
