    Race Analysis

    PROTECTIVE (4) finds it hard to win with just one success from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1m at Saratoga, beaten 12 lengths. Finds the right race this time and can salute. MCDUDE (10) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to make amends. TAUNTING (7) gave away a considerable start over 1m1f in stakes class at Hawthorne (Turf) last time before hitting the line well to finish fourth. One to watch for in the closing stages. BRILLIANT MAN (9) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 1m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten one length. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.
