SUNCROFT (13) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at Churchill Downs (Dirt) before finishing third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Has the ability to take this out. FACE VALUE (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 5 lengths into ninth. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. JACKMAN (8) finished third at Remington Park two runs back but was less effective last time over 1106m at Remington Park (Dirt), finishing 10 lengths back in seventh. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. BEN FRANKLIN (2) returns from a spell of 11 months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished sixth at this track (Dirt) over 1710m when first-up last time in work.
