THE BRIGADE (3) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf) with a win over 1609m at this track (Turf) three weeks ago, getting home by 2.75 lengths. Samuel Marin scored on him last time and retains the mount. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. PATRICK'S PROMISE (11) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish second, beaten 4 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Turf). Has a terrific record here with two wins and three minor placings from five starts. Sure to go well. LONGHI (6) has been in great form, winning two on end before back-to-back placings, the latest when beaten 4 lengths into third over 1609m at this track (Turf) when he was prominent throughout. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ORATOR (9) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten 1.1 lengths into fourth over 1710m at Delaware Park Turf (Turf). Minor claims.
