KUCH (7) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track (Turf) over 1609m, beaten a nose. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Hard to beat. MCGINNIS (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. STAR SAVER (3) was in contention on the turn and finished third last start over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt), beaten 12 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. THE BLUE FACTOR (2) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track (Turf). Among the better chances in what looks a nice race.
