GUY NAMED JOE (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 1/09/2024, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1m1f in the G2 Del Mar Derby (Turf). Has found the frame in all of five starts here including a win. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. DANCING RINCA (6) lifted strongly only to just miss last start over 6f at this track (Turf). Ready to go one better. NOBLE REFLECTION (13) didn't do a bad job when third last start after being in contention on the corner over 6f at this track, beaten 0.4 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. IRISH ROYALTY (8) started this prep with a win then not disgraced last time out when fourth over 6f at this track, beaten 0.5 lengths. Well placed and can make amends.
