CAPTAIN BLOOD (7) wasn't far away when resuming last start, finishing fifth over 1006m at LONE STAR PARK Turf (Turf) after he gave away a big start. In the money at each of his runs over this longer journey. Will pay to follow up. RIP CORD (1) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Dirt) over 1308m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Big chance to score. CUTTING CLASS (3) was below his best last time, finishing eighth and beaten 20 lengths over 1609m at LONE STAR PARK Turf (Dirt). Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. VERRAZANO'S GOLD (4) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1673m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Has ability so don't underestimate.
