DAWN AT NORMANDY (10) closed last prep eight months ago when he finished fourth over 6f at this track. Has the right credentials. POPPA ECHO (8) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Cipriano Contreras barn. Hasn't raced since finishing in the placings at Churchill Downs (Dirt) three-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks well placed. Definite winning chance. LA LENGUA (11) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 5f at Remington Park (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten half a length. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. SECRET LEGEND (2) returns after ten months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 6f at this track (Dirt). Opened last prep with a minor placing at this track over 6f. Has ability and is worth including.
