BULLET BREEZE (10) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 17 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. WATCH HILL (12) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when eighth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1m1/2f at Finger Lakes (Dirt). Should be peaking now and is expected to run well. BIRTHDAY BOND ROB (3) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations when resuming at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths over 7f. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. TAKEMETOTHEMOON (14) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing eighth last start over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Well placed to make amends.
