MAINSTREAM (8) was well fancied but below his best at the last run before a break on July 16, finishing fifth over 1408m at Saratoga (Dirt). Starts this prep with I Ortiz Jr taking charge. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will give a great sight. FREAKY (3) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the turn before being beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth over 1710m at this track. Strips fitter and can feature. LOVE'M OR LIAM (5) is a six-start maiden who is building towards a win, the latest run an encouraging third over 1710m at Tampa Bay Downs (Turf) after being prominent at the bend. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. ARK ROYAL (6) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fourth over 1911m here last time. Solid top-three prospects.
