WASHINGTON'S UNION (7) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 13 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and two minor placings from four runs. Will be hard to stop. DEADPAN (3) is resuming from a spell of ten weeks and having his first run for the Anthony Farrior yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Colonial Downs (Dirt) over 1710m. Leading hope and should be tough to stop. SAQEEL (4) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1609m at Thistledown (Dirt), getting home by half a length. Winning rider L Negron retains the mount. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DON TEQUILAS (8) was a gutsy winner two runs back then ran fifth over 1710m at Charles Town (Dirt) on April 30. Capable of playing a big role.
