UNIVERSE (1) is close to a win placing at last couple, the latest finishing a 1.75 lengths second in the G2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt) and drops in the weights for this. Should camp just off the leaders. Will prove tough to beat. RANCHO SANTA FE (5) resumes after a break of 12 weeks. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1609m at Ellis Park. Capable of playing a major role. SCAR SHIP (8) is racing well. Scored at Delta Downs (Dirt) two back then finished second, beaten half a length, over 1207m in stakes class at Fairgrounds (Dirt) at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be competitive. STRATEGIC RISK (7) finished third two runs back in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 9 lengths over 1710m at Listed level at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run.
