CADET CORPS (1) ran below expectations last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf), finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths starting at 7/4. Has the ability to take care of this field. SOUL COAXING (3) did a great job to score by a nose over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Likely to be there at the finish again. POLICY OPTION (5) is a seven-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Francisco Villa barn. Resumes after finishing tenth at Kentucky (Turf) at his last run 11 months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but goes well fresh from a lay-off, filling a placing two times from four runs. Expected to be in the finish. SAILING SOLO (9) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m at this track (Turf), beaten a nose. Will strip fitter this time. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this circuit. Likely improver with solid prospects.
