VALENTINIAN (8) is going well this time in work, including a last start win over 1609m at this track (Dirt) to bring up two wins from three runs in the campaign. Has a formidable combination with Reyluis Gutierrez who has been aboard for his last two wins. Best form puts him right in this. SPECIALAGENTJONSON (5) scored a barnstorming win last start over 1673m at this track (Dirt), coming from the tail to get up by a nose. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and two minor placings from four starts. Expected to be in the finish. SANZIO (6) failed to run a strong 1710m last start after a close second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) the run prior. Looks better placed over this shorter trip so should be involved in the finish. PALPABLE (3) recorded an all-the-way win last time out by 1.3 lengths over today's journey at this track (Dirt). Shaun Bridgmohan who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Must be respected.
