LIFE ON THE NILE (5) was well fancied last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 7 lengths. Will appreciate the longer journey and can play a major role. LE COOP (2) is back from a lay-off of eight months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Should be prominent. CONTRABANDISTA (7) finds it hard to win with just one success from 21 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1m1/4f at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. CROW'S NEST (3) was in contention on the bend and finished third last time over 1m at Lone Star Park (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. In the right race and is sure to be prominent.
