AHSAD (5) improved last time out, finishing one length from the winner in second at the end of 7f at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. MINXZHIPPSDONTLEYE (8) wound up strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. MAJESTIC TIGER (13) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing fifth last start over 6f at Aqueduct (Dirt) seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Forgive the last run in the mix. EMPIRE'S SCORE (3) finished fifth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 6f at this track, beaten only 0.1 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
