PANDEMIC HERO (2) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track (Dirt) over 1207m after he had travelled in a rearwards position. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. PROPITIOUS (1) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. This doesn't look as hard so he can make amends. NOGUCHI (10) was last at the races when he finished sixth over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) on May 23. Now under the care of new trainer William H Bartlett. Can make his presence felt. MONTAUK MEMOIRS (7) finished sixth at this track and distance at his last appearance four months ago. Can make his presence felt.
