FACE ABARRIO (4) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when seventh, beaten 41 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after he travelled towards the rear of the field. Has a solid record at the third run in and is all set to find winning form. BEYOND THE BEND (5) finished just 0.9 lengths from the winner in third last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt) after racing on the pace. Worth noting Yan Aviles goes aboard. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. FUNNY JOKE (8) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 1207m at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by 3.5 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. ALPHA BLUE (12) is back from a spell of seven months. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 1006m at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic). Has switched to the Anthony Farrior yard over the break. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. In the mix.
