TAPWRITS TEMPER (6) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 17 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 6½f at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. TURN AND COUNT (3) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when sixth over 1m at this track (Dirt) after he got a long way back. Should be peaking now and is sure to be about the mark. SECURED LENDER (1) is fresh from a lay-off of ten weeks and did hit the frame when last resuming at Keeneland (Dirt) over 7f. In a different yard now. Can make his presence felt. SHOOT THE NICKEL (2) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 13 lengths away in fifth over 6f at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
