PROPRIETARY TRADE (2) dug deep to win by 0.3 lengths two runs back at Monmouth Park (Dirt) then finished fourth over 6f in stakes class at Monmouth Park (Dirt) last time. Will find this easier. Has a high cruising speed. Best form puts him right in this. SQUINTS (4) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by 0.1 lengths over 7f here last time. In form and will take beating again. ETENDRE (5) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 9 lengths behind Real Macho over 7f in stakes class at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. One to consider. TEMECULA (6) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 6½f contest at Churchill Downs last time out by 0.3 lengths. One of the genuine contenders.
