Set Weights IFT TAP (1) finished sixth two runs back at Parx (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths as favourite after being in contention on the turn over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Worth noting Jean Aguilar goes aboard. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. ZOOMER (3) could only manage seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m1/2f at Laurel, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BERMONDSEY (2) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. HELMS DEEP (9) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1m1/2f at Laurel after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so he can figure again.
