AL AMEEQ (4) returned from a lay-off seven-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 29 lengths into seventh over 6f at Aqueduct. Strips fitter and can make amends. BAD ADVICE (5) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 6f at this track (Dirt), scoring by one length. Looks well placed and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. STOUTHEARTED (10) did little and finished 10 lengths from the winner in seventh over 6f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at this track the run before. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. MARINE PATROL (8) was beaten 6 lengths into seventh in a 1m1/2f contest at this track last time out. Capable of featuring prominently.
