RICCIO (5) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish third over 1m at this track (Turf) at his latest appearance. Winning rider Angel Cruz sticks. Will strip fitter and is one of the big chances. JARDANI (3) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing second, beaten 2.5 lengths, over this trip at Pimlico (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. CROSSLAND (4) lines up on the back of a 2.75 lengths fourth over 1m at this track. Has a solid record here over this distance, winning on two occasions from eight outings. Strong top-three chance. SNEAKING SUSPICION (1) broke his maiden last start over 1m at this track (Turf) when resuming, scoring by one length. Re-unites with Jorge Ruiz who was on board last start. This is tougher but he cannot be underestimated.
