GOOD HEART (3) returned from a lay-off six weeks ago when he was beaten 30 lengths into seventh over 6f at this track. Strips fitter and can feature. ALPINE THUNDER (5) returns from a lay-off of nine weeks and did score when resuming when last in work at Los Alamitos Qh (Dirt) over 4f124yards. Lines up for the first time for the Robertino Diodoro stable. Rates highly so expect him to be prominent. POPULIST (10) has changed stables since finishing second over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) three months ago. Goes well when resuming from a lay-off, including five minor placings from eight starts. Capable of taking this out. SLAM DUNK SERMON (9) finished 11 lengths behind the winner in 11th place when resuming over 6f last start at this track (Dirt). Second up record is sound. Can improve sharply here.
