EXPECT THE BEST (7) filled yet another minor placing last time when one length adrift in second over 1811m at Saratoga (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Has the ability to figure prominently. MAGNUS GOLD (3) resumed last time out and finished third over 1673m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Sure to prove tough to beat. LAY DOWN THE LAW (9) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is one of the main chances. PALM TREE (6) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
