HATMAKER GIZMO (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 20 lengths when sixth over 1m1/4f at Parx three-and-a-half weeks ago. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. KAZ CREED (6) has switched yards since resuming with a fourth over 6f at this track. Did score at this stage when last in work at this track over 1m. Racing for the first time under a new trainer Peter Kazamias. One of the genuine hopes in the race. VALORE (2) got the prize two runs ago at Charles Town. Less impressive last time out when fifth over 5½f at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. BALLROOM EYES (3) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1m at Laurel, beaten 12 lengths. Nicely placed to play a leading role.
