DRAGOON GUARD (4) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when second over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) three-and-a-half months ago which was the only run of that prep. Has never been out of the placings when resuming from three tries. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. SECRET CHAT (5) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1m at Ellis Park (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. BEST ACTOR (6) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. CAN'T HUSH THIS (1) was out of the money when resuming but has since placed two on end and looks close to a win, the latest effort a third over 1m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Sound record at this distance with two wins and five minor placings from eight runs and is among the main hopes.
