BOWSTREET (7) accounted for a maiden field over 6f at this track (Dirt) last start when fresh from a break. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Luan Machado was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Sure to prove tough to beat again with that win now under his belt. HAILSTORM (2) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark three runs back, the latest effort a third over 6½f at Ellis Park (Dirt). Great chance to break through. MR MELO (1) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 7 lengths over 6f at Kentucky (Turf). Marcelino Pedroza gets the best out of this three-year-old colt. Has the talent to take this out. MR DISCOUNT (3) was safely held when second last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 6 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
