DAUWE (9) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Horseshoe Indianapolis six-and-a-half months ago. Should camp just off the leaders. Among the leading chances. COW CREEK KID (12) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Belterra Park, beaten 9 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but with added fitness he is good enough to take this out. LOOKOUT KID (2) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Makes plenty of appeal. AUDUBON BAY (8) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with a nose to spare over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Among the top-three contenders.
