KICK A BUCK (3) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 51 lengths into ninth over 2414m at Kentucky. Strips fitter and can make amends. THOUSANDS OF HOPES (10) tackled a turf track for the first time last start and finished third over today's course and distance, finishing 4 lengths from the winner. Strong record with Marcelino Pedroza aboard, including two wins. Bold showing expected. MO CAN DANCE (2) has returned in good order this campaign. Won his maiden first-up over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) then finished second over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf) last time. Jumps from a good draw and should be in the mix. HE'S A CHARMER (5) was far from disgraced when third last start over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
