STAT (6) won last start over 1m at this track (Turf), making it two victories from three appearances this campaign. Should be prominent from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. JUST A PHOTO (4) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track (Turf) with a win as public elect over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) seven weeks ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. Group 3 placegetter BURNIN TURF (3) ran well below his best last time over 1m at this track (Turf), beaten 2.25 lengths into fifth at 7/2. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Winning claims on best figures. Group 2 winner TIZ THE BOMB (5) is returning from a lay-off of six months. Finished seventh at Keeneland (Turf) over 1m1/2f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Jose Francisco D'angelo.
