DEUS EX MACHINA (1) has been freshened up since a disappointing eighth over 5½f at this track (Dirt) six weeks ago. Best form is good enough so worth another chance. CAMPTON (2) is racing well on turf of late, hitting the frame in a at this track then improving to score at this track over 5f three-and-a-half weeks ago. Racing very well. Among the main hopes again. TOWN BRANCH (8) got the prize two runs ago at Ellis Park. Less impressive last time out when tenth over 7f at Churchill Downs, beaten 40 lengths. Has the ability to produce another win. ETERNAL BLISS (5) returns from a lay-off. Finished seventh at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep three-and-a-half months ago. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
