    Race Analysis

    MIDLAND MONEY (5) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 6½f at Del Mar (Dirt), beaten 1. 3 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. BARNES (9) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 7f at Saratoga. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. GOAL ORIENTED (10) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing sixth last start over 1m in the G1 Breeders Cup Dirt Mile at Del Mar (Dirt) eight weeks ago. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Capable of testing this field. SPEEDY WILSON (4) scored last start at Del Mar (Dirt) to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Goes up a notch this time but is ready for the challenge.
