TO MONARCH (6) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 6½f at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Looks set to go close again. CARCONE (3) started at 13/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 13 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. NOSTALGIA'S SMILE (1) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), finishing 18 lengths from the winner in fifth. Among the leading chances. LAZIO (5) fought on for third last start over 5f at this track (Synthetic), beaten 1.75 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
