NILES CHANNEL (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1m1/4f at this track after being prominent at the corner. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. STRONGER TOGETHER (1) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well when returning from a break last time at this track (Dirt), finishing second and only 0.8 lengths from the winner at the end of 1m1/4f after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. CONTRABANDISTA (6) finished fourth two runs back at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 4.5 lengths as favourite after being in contention on the bend over 1m at Will Rogers Downs (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can play a major role again. CODE RUNNER (5) finished third last time over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 5.5 lengths. Capable of another strong performance.
