VERRAZANO FIRST (6) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1673m at Hawthorne (Dirt). This is a suitable assignment and can get the job done. MR CHIVAS (1) started this preparation with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when fourth over 1207m at Prairie Meadows, beaten 5 lengths. Has the talent to take this out. GOOD SCOUT (3) turned things around last start and got the job done by 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the bend as favourite over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can play a major role again. SONNYISNOTSOFUNNY (2) was beaten 17 lengths into 11th in a 1207m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Well placed to bounce back.
