CHECKERED FLAG (11) is a talented gelding who was well held last time out in the tougher won by Colonel Ludlow over 1m1/4f at Emerald Downs, beaten 15 lengths into seventh. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. N MEMORY OF U (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1f130yards at Gillespie County Fairground (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. BELOVED CARTEL V (7) resumes from a lay-off of ten weeks. Could only manage to finish eighth at the latest run over 1f130yards at Los Alamitos Qh (Dirt). Strong winning chance on best figures. SUGARS TRAIN (1) stepped out for his debut over 1f80yards at Remington Park (Dirt) back on March 9 and finished fourth, beaten 1.4 lengths. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well.
