BARKSDALE (5) was narrowly beaten at his latest appearance at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 6f ten weeks ago. Lines up. For the first time for trainer Mertkan Kantarmaci. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. ATTACHE (1) finished 12 lengths from the winner in ninth on turf at Keeneland two starts back. Missed the frame in another run on turf last time at Churchill Downs over 5½f when 5. 5 lengths adrift in eighth. Change of rider to Rafael Bejarano who has two wins when aboard. Likely to feature. MOLLY'S TOWN (3) finished second at Horseshoe Indianapolis two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), finishing 8 lengths back in eighth. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. MUMAYAZ (4) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6½f at Remington Park (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance.
