PUBLISHER (5) was well in commission last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 7 lengths. Erik Asmussen stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on five occasions. Bold showing expected. MINGO (1) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 1609m. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. CRAZY DIAMOND (2) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Fairgrounds, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. BON TEMPS (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1609m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
