TIDEWATER (9) is back from a four-and-a-half months lay-off and he does run well when resuming, including a win over 6f at this track at the start of last prep. Sure to go well. INTO THE SAUCE (12) is tested on a turf track for the first time. On his return from a lengthy lay-off. Finished fifth at Delaware Park (Dirt) over 6f when last resuming. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will prove tough to beat. ONE WHIRLWIND RIDE (5) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but with added fitness he is good enough to take this out. SHAPE NOTE (14) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Turfway Park, beaten 4 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well.
