PIRATE'S ALLEY (9) has switched yards since finishing eighth a month ago over 1m1/4f at Belmont Park. Winning chance for the new barn. BIG PLAYER (1) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 6f at this track. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. I HAD A DREAM (8) followed an unplaced effort when resuming two runs back with a second last start over 6f at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ALOTTA FIGHTING (10) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
