MID DAY IMAGE (3) started at 8/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths at Saratoga (Turf) over 5½f after being in the firing line on the bend. Worth noting Angel Cruz goes aboard. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. OUTLAW COUNTRY (1) finished seventh in Listed grade at Monmouth Park (Turf) over this distance last time out. Form over this journey is strong, boasting five wins from nine starts. Will find this much easier. Best form puts him right in this. Set Weights ILL (2) finished sixth two runs back at this track (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 1.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 5½f at this track (Turf). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PETINGAS TWIN (6) dug deep to win by half a length two runs back at this track (Dirt) then finished sixth over 7f at Listed level at Charles Town (Dirt) last time. Will find this easier. Should camp just off the leaders. Don't underestimate.
