ABDICATE (6) lines up for the first time since April 23. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1408m at this track. Should be hard to stop. SAILOR SAM (9) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 1408m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. HAMDOUN (3) got home by 1.3 lengths last time out over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has a fair record at this track with a win and three placings. Among the chances. UNCLE GREY (2) ran a better race last start, finishing 8 lengths away in fourth over 1207m at Laurel. No surprise to see him in contention.
