HUNTER JOE (11) finished a 3.5 lengths seventh on turf at this track in a then followed up with a minor placing on dirt at this track over 1m eight weeks ago. Will find this much easier. Leading contender. THE LAST SCIP (7) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 6 lengths over 1m1/4f at Delaware Park (Turf). Worth noting Jeiron Barbosa goes aboard. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. GUAPONESS (10) hit the frame two starts ago at Timonium but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 14 lengths over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. OMAR COMIN (8) finished a 10 length eighth on turf at this track in a then followed up with a minor placing on dirt at this track over 1m1/2f a week ago. Sure to give a great sight. Looks a top-three contender again.
