YARROW (5) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 0.6 lengths, over 5½f at this track. Has a sound record here with two wins and three minor placings from six starts. Key runner. WORKS FOR ME (4) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 3 lengths last time out over 6f at Aqueduct (Dirt). Will take advantage of the good draw. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. ALEXIS ZORBA (7) is going well with two minor placings from three starts this prep. Continued the trend last time out when third over 1m at Aqueduct (Turf) after he was prominent throughout. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CIGARETTE BOAT (9) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 5½f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
