SCOOPS DYNASTY (4) returns from a lay-off. Finished fourth at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep 12 weeks ago. Armando R Cervantes who has seven wins when partnering stays on. Should be hard to stop. Group 1 grade at this track (Dirt) but is a much better third-up performer. Rates highly and is right in the mix. MASK MANDATE (2) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 0.7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1f180yards at this track (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Capable of testing this field. JESS BEING A FRIEND (6) was narrowly beaten at his latest appearance in Group 2 grade at this track (Dirt) over 2f three-and-a-half months ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
