MR MELO (7) improved last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 5f at this track. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. PROSPERO (2) is a three-year-old colt who is having his first run for the Cherie Devaux barn. Finished off last campaign with a sixth at Aqueduct (Turf) nine months ago. Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Bold showing expected. HERO WORSHIP (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 5½f at this track, beaten 17 lengths into sixth. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. COVET (9) is a four-year-old entire who is having his first run for the Joe Sharp yard. Hasn't raced since finishing sixth at Gulfstream Park (Turf) 15 months ago. Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Can return with a bold run.
