DIRECT STRIKE (5) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just half a length from the winner in second over 2012m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SILENT WAY (3) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1710m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. VICTORY CORPS (1) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1609m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) in a tougher race. Drawn to enjoy a lovely run so he is among the leading chances. MONEY MAN (6) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again.
