NIKOLAOU (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 19 lengths when fifth in a 1m contest at this track five weeks ago. Has the class to take care of this field. ATKINS (4) was well fancied last start over 1m at Fairmount Park (Dirt) when third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. THRU THE VINE (7) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. MAYITO (1) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 7 lengths, after a win at Fort Erie at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
