OTELLO (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to take this out. CATCHING FREEDOM (4) has not found the winners' circle this campaign so the engagement of Flavien Prat might be significant. Looks a solid top-three prospect. BATTEN DOWN (6) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished third, beaten 5. 5 lengths, over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. SYSTEMIC CHANGE (5) finished second two runs back at Aqueduct (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
