NOTTURNO (5) finished 7 lengths adrift in sixth last time at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. This is a nice drop in grade so he is set to turn things around. SMALLCHANGEGEEP (1) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 6 lengths win over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Expecting a bold showing. WICKED MELODY (3) is back from a spell of a year. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Goes very well here having never been out of the placings. Has to be respected. FIRST TRUMPET (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten 12 lengths into fifth. The engagement of Jorge A Vargas Jr is a positive move. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
