HELLACIOUS (3) was in the money two starts back at Aqueduct then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 6f at this track (Synthetic). Terrific chance to return to form. SHALLUS (13) drifted back over 6f here last time before winding up late to finish fifth, beaten 4 lengths. Nicely placed and expected to go well. FROSTY BEER (8) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 6½f at this track (Synthetic). Placed to advantage so expect another big run. SOKOTA (10) ran below expectations last start, finishing seventh and beaten 5 lengths at this track (Synthetic) over 6½f. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
