WEEK'S STRONG (4) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 16 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1673m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. CARLIN CONTENTION (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1609m at Aqueduct, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. THE TIRE MAN (1) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when seventh over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Can make his presence felt while fresh. NO MOR STONES (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 13 lengths away in eighth over 1673m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
