ON THE HILL (13) is switching to a turf track for the first time. Has been knocking on the door with placings at his last three runs, the latest on dirt over 6f at this track when beaten half a length into second. Key runner on recent efforts. LI'L LANG (8) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Aqueduct (Turf) two starts back then scored by a nose as public elect last time out over 6f at Aqueduct (Turf). Flavien Prat scored on him last time and retains the ride. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. TWISTED FILIGREE (6) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second when resuming last time out over 5½f at this track (Turf). Will take advantage of the good draw. Nicely placed to take this out. HEYMACKIT'SJACK (4) was out of the placings last time over 5½f at this track (Turf) but is a stronger performer at the third run back from a lay-off. Top-three contender.
