HURRICANE NELSON (1) returned last time with a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 7f after being in the firing line on the bend. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BANNED FOR LIFE (4) was well supported last time over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) but could only manage third after being in contention on the corner. Expected to be in the finish. MARCHE (2) is back from a lay-off of five months. Debuted with a third, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 6f at Gulfstream Park at his only appearance to date. Right in the contest. WAJDA (3) is back after a break of nine months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 6½f at Aqueduct (Dirt). Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
