TROOPS (3) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to break through. Most recently finished sixth over 6½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths. One of the leading contenders in this suitable contest. MORODER (1) turned in a strong performance when resuming when in the money at this track but disappointed last time when seventh, beaten 8 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 6½f. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. FLY COMMANDER (4) finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track (Dirt) after he was prominent at the turn. Ready to go one better. GLOBAL GIANT (2) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Gregory D Sacco. By Global Campaign from Magger Bags. Top-three chance.
