HYPERBOREAN SPIRIT (11) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1308m at this track (Turf), beaten 0.1 lengths. Looks a top prospect to break through this time. BORAGO (3) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing fifth, beaten 2.5 lengths, last time over 1308m at this track (Turf). Expected to prove tough to beat. MIRACLE MICHAEL (4) started at $2.91 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths at Belmont Park (Dirt) over 1207m after being in contention on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ARINATO (9) is facing the starter for the first time. By Nyquist and is out of the Linda Rice stable. Top-three chance.
