FINAL COUNTDOWN (2) improved last time out, finishing 11 lengths from the winner in second when he worked home well at the end of 1207m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. NACUA (1) is a son of Core Beliefs from the Listed winner Shop Girl who makes his debut. Strong profile and should play a role in the finish. AIN'T DERE NO MO (4) got well back over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 10 lengths away in eighth. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. MAHMOUD'S CLOUD (5) is a three-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 15 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
