    Race Analysis

    CAPTAIN COOK (5) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second in the G1 H Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) over 7f, beaten 0. 1 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Yet to find winning form this prep but has been thereabouts with three placings from four starts. Leading contender. BARNES (3) finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at Parx four weeks ago as 2/5 favourite. Steps up in journey. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. TAYLOR'S VERSION (2) scored last start at Churchill Downs (Dirt) to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Has a high cruising speed. Winning claims on best figures. GAMING (1) settled towards the tail then wound up strongly to finish 14 lengths away in third when resuming last start over 1m in Listed grade at Del Mar (Dirt). Takes on tougher opposition this time but cannot be underestimated.
