LUCCI (2) finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 5f at this track when fresh from a lay-off. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will play a major role. CHROMED IMPULSE (5) is a last-start winner over 6½f at this track (Dirt), showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 0.8 lengths. Sound record at this distance with five wins and six minor placings from 16 runs and should be in the finish. SOLOMONS GOLD (1) has enjoyed a let-up of six weeks since he won when resuming over 6f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt), scoring by 1.5 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and is among the winning hopes again. SOVEREIGN OF SPEED (6) was beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth over 6f at this track last time out. Well placed to turn things around.
