KIRIN (7) impressed when resuming then took on a much better race last time when tenth over 1m in stakes class at Kentucky (Turf). Rates highly and can bounce back. MACHO MUSIC (4) recorded a strong maiden win over 5½f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) last time, getting there by 9 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he cannot be underestimated. SEXAGENARIAN (5) was far from disgraced after being prominent at the turn to finish 1.75 lengths away in second last start over 6½f at Kentucky. That followed a win on debut at Ellis Park. Finds a suitable race and can rediscover winning form. ACE IT (9) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Colonial Downs (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by a nose as favourite last time out over 6f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again.
