PARIS SURPRISE (8) is yet to break through after five career starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 1m1/2f at Keeneland (Turf) following a minor placing at Kentucky (Turf) when fresh from a lay-off the run prior. Big chance to break through. CIAO CHUCK (7) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1m1/2f at Aqueduct (Turf). Can figure prominently. ENLIGHTEN (1) resumes from a lay-off of 11 months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Rates highly and is a chance to break through. BELL MOUNTAIN (3) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic), beaten one length. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
