GOLD LUCK (6) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at his last four starts, most recently finishing third over 7f at this track. Looks the one to beat again. Group 3 placegetter CATS BY FIVE (5) was thereabouts last time out when second in the G3 Chick Lang Stakes at Pimlico (Dirt) over 6f, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and five minor placings from nine starts. Expected to be in the finish. PENSACOLA (4) is back after a break of seven months. Looking to emulate his win at Ellis Park when returning from a lay-off last prep. Has switched to the William D Cowans stable. Has found the right race and is worth including. HOCUS (1) opened this prep with a win then was not as effective last time out when tenth over 7f at this track, beaten 29 lengths. In the mix.
