VERTRAUEN (6) started at 7/4 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 6f. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. TEXAS TOWN (3) returned from a lay-off seven-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into seventh over 5f at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Strips fitter and can feature. GOLD SEARCH (7) is back at the races for the first time since June 26. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 7f at this track. Definite top-three chance. TIVERTON (4) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing seventh last time out over 7f at Keeneland.
