HONOR THE CROSS (3) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Delaware Park (Dirt), most recently beaten 4 lengths into second over 7f at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. BOYS OF SUMMER (1) was safely held when third last start over 1m at Penn National, beaten 3 lengths after being prominent at the turn. That followed a good win on debut at Parx. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. RESTORING ORDER (6) was rewarded with his maiden success last start, scoring by 3.5 lengths over 7f at Woodbine. Shaping up nicely and he is right in the mix again. SECRET TREASURE (2) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1m at Aqueduct, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner. Should be involved in the finish.
