Group 3 placegetter ROTKNEE (5) built on a nice second two starts back in stakes class at this track (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 7f in stakes class at this track (Dirt) five weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is capable of testing his rivals. Group 3 winner SUPER CHOW (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 7f in the G3 Toboggan Stakes at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. Group 3 winner DURANTE (8) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but was below par last time when out of the placings in Listed grade at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1m after he had settled well back. Yet to miss the placings in four starts over this course and distance. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. LISTENTOYOURHEART (2) resumed with a fourth at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 6f at this track. Has his first look at a turf track. Cherry-ripe now and looks up to the task. Worth following up.
