CELESTIAL GLAZE (4) finished fifth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out after being in the firing line on the corner to score by a nose over 7f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. DIDINGER (3) pushed forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just 0.4 lengths from the winner in third over 6½f at Parx (Dirt). Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to figure in the finish. POPPY'S PRIDE (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 6½f at Aqueduct (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Drawn for a nice run just off the speed. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. LOST IN ROME (7) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 6½f at Aqueduct (Dirt), beaten 2.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. In the right race and is worth serious consideration.
