GORDIAN KNOT (1) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at Laurel, beaten 4 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be overlooked. PAYNTED WARRIOR (2) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at Delaware Park, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. MISTER ME (4) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at Parx (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths over 1408m. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. FOLLOW THE FELLOW (5) finished second last start over 1207m at Monmouth Park following a run of two wins on end.
