KING JULIEN (7) dug deep to score in a then was beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 5f at this track (Synthetic) last time seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely to figure prominently. LA BELLEZA NEGRA (9) finished third when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at this track. This looks an ideal assignment. PROTEGE (1) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 7f at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Among the chances. MOON LANDING (8) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 3 lengths at his most recent appearance when fourth over 5f at this track (Synthetic). Going well and he can figure in the finish.
