SEARCH ENGINE (3) last appeared three weeks ago over 1m at Laurel when he finished fifth. This is his first run for the Horacio Depaz stable. Plenty to like about his prospects. JUST CALL RAY (9) finished 3 lengths away in fourth last time out over 7f at Laurel five-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Good record at this journey with three wins and five minor placings from 10 starts and shapes as a key contender. IRISH EXIT (7) started at 6/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1m. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. DEPOSITION (1) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 1.5 lengths. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
