GAVEA (1) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 4.5 lengths back in second over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with winning claims. LOYAL CLEMENT (3) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when second over 1207m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a bold race. BIG PRODUCER (8) started at $2.20 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 1207m. Has a win and two minor placings from four starts at this track and distance. Should be competitive. LOMACHENKO (2) is returning from a spell of four months. Finished fourth at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over 1609m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Jay P Bernardini.
