IZATIZ (3) was thereabouts last time out when second in Listed grade at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) over 6f, beaten 0.8 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Sure to go well. Group 3 placegetter CLOSING ACT (1) resumes after a break of eight months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 4½f at Churchill Downs. One of the genuine hopes in the race. PEEK FACTOR (7) comes here following a win over 6f at Sam Houston Park three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Among the main hopes. REASON OVER RICHES (2) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1m at Sam Houston Park, beaten 6 lengths, after a win at Sam Houston Park at the previous outing. Expect a better run this time.
