ROGER ROGER (6) is racing well without winning. Last start finished third, beaten 9 lengths, over 1m at this track (Dirt). Top contender. COPIOUS (1) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1m at this track (Dirt) following a minor placing at this track (Dirt) when fresh from a lay-off the run prior. Likely to play a major role. ALIAS (4) was beaten just 0. 3 lengths last start when second in a small field over 6½f at this track (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will give backers a great sight. SHADOW BANKING (5) resumes from a lay-off of six months. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 6½f at Saratoga (Dirt). Can kick off with a bold showing.
