Group 2 placegetter GREAT NAVIGATOR (11) was well held over 1m at Listed level at this track (Dirt) last time out. Reunites with jockey Jairo Rendon who knows him well, including two wins while aboard. Among the leading chances. HE'SPUREGOLD (7) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fourth over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at this track (Turf) after he was in contention on the bend. Should be peaking now and is expected to run well. ONE TIME WILLARD (5) turned in a fine effort to win by 2 lengths at this course and distance when when resuming from a layoff last time out. The engagement of Jairo Rendon is noteworthy. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. THERE ARE NO WORDS (8) went forward over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at this track (Turf) last time but found one better. Sound record at this distance with two wins and four minor placings from eight runs and deserves respect.
