CUGINO (10) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten one length, over 1m1f at Aqueduct when fresh from a lay-off. Will find this much easier. Sure to run well. SILENT HEART (9) produced a good effort last start over this journey at Listed level at this track (Turf), scoring by 3 lengths. Has a terrific record here with two wins and one placing from three starts. Expect a bold showing. ECHO LANE (13) scored by half a length over this distance at Churchill Downs (Turf) last time out when fresh from a lay-off. Hard to knock form this course having never missed the frame including two wins and one placing. Must be considered. LIVE HIGH LIVE LOW (1) has been in good form, scoring three back at Meadowlands (Turf) then placing twice in a row, most recently when second over 6f at Aqueduct (Turf). Well placed and will be thereabouts again.
