LLOYD (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth. Worth noting Julio A Hernandez goes aboard. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is one of the main contenders. TERMSOFENGAGEMENT (8) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.5 lengths over 5½f at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins and three minor placings from seven runs. Can measure up again. PRACTICAL COACH (9) ran below expectations last time at Parx (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths starting at 11/2. Has the talent to produce a better result. ELLIE'S BOYFRIEND (1) is a last-start winner three weeks ago, scoring by 0.3 lengths over 4½f at Charles Town. Goes very well at this trip with two wins from three starts. Has solid credentials.
