ELOQUIST (5) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start second at Colonial Downs (Dirt) over 1m when beaten 2.75 lengths. Pascacio Lopez is back on and has a solid record on the six-year-old, including three wins. Should be hard to stop. IN SPADES (6) went forward last start over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. POINT DUME (1) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner as public elect over 7f at this track (Dirt). Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. DUKE OF GLOUCESTER (3) was beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth in a 1m contest at Aqueduct last time out. No surprise to see him in the mix.
