DRILLING FOR GOLD (10) is back from a break of nine weeks. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 1m1/2f at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). One of the genuine hopes in the race. ALAKAN (5) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fifth over 1m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) after he got a long way back. Should be peaking now and is sure to be about the mark. EDGERTON (6) last raced when successful by 0. 3 lengths over 1m1/2f at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) ten weeks ago. Definite top-three chance. EL TINMARIN (8) was in the money on the dirt at Parx two runs ago then backed it up with a win, also on dirt, at Parx over 1m1/4f two months ago. Has the form and rates a solid each-way hope again.
