ELNAJD (6) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Will appreciate the longer journey now. TRE ITALIANI (4) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the corner at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths starting at $3.60. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. NORTHERN CHILL (10) has been freshened up since he finished fifth over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) five weeks ago. Well placed to atone. HOUSE UNITED (7) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Aqueduct (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by 2.5 lengths as favourite last time out over 1811m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
