NOBLE SKY (7) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. PLAYA AZUL (3) is a three-start maiden who finished 11th at her most recent appearance over 1811m at Keeneland (Turf) after she was well back on straightening. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. KRAKEN (5) resumes from a spell of 13 months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. NOBLE J (6) is fresh from a spell of 17 months and did hit the frame when last resuming at this track (Dirt) over 1006m. In a different yard now.
