SCAR NOSE (5) was a placegetter on dirt over 6½f at this track in a but missed the frame on turf over 1m1f at Colonial Downs last time. Has managed four minor placings from six runs at this circuit. Among the leading chances. ROYCES RIDE (3) missed the frame when resuming two runs ago on dirt when eighth over 1m at Colonial Downs. Moderate effort last start on turf when unplaced over 1m at Colonial Downs. Nicely placed and worth following up back on dirt. ALIGN (4) returns after a lay-off of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1m at Laurel. Now under the care of new trainer Kevin J Joy. Can make his presence felt. FUNDRAISER (2) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fifth at this track (Dirt) over 4½f, beaten 5 lengths. Looks well placed here and has to be respected.
