OXFORD UNION (2) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 5.5 lengths when eighth over 1m1/2f at Aqueduct two weeks ago. This is a nice drop in grade so he is one of the main contenders. ROCK BULLET (3) is still a maiden after 15 starts. Could only manage to finish eighth last time out over 1m1f at this track (Turf) following a minor placing at Pimlico (Turf) over 1m the run prior. Should be in the mix. GRAFT (4) returned from a lay-off six weeks ago when he was prominent at the corner before being beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1m at Pimlico. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. ELFUEGOMASBRILANTE (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 7½f at Delaware Park. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
