EN PLEIN AIR (5) showed good early pace over 6f at this track last time and kept going to score by a nose. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot salute. AIN'TSOBAD (10) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 2 lengths last time out over 6½f at this track. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE (2) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5½f at Albany, beaten 0.9 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to make a big impact. BUTTERFLY HOUSE (3) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 5f at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
