PIQUANT (10) missed the placings on debut two runs back then settled well back last start when 24 lengths away in 11th over 1m at this track. Faces an easier assignment so he can find the winners' list. STAYGOLDPONYBOY (11) finished 2.75 lengths away in fifth last time out over 5f at Delaware Park four weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Right in the mix. ACE ON THE TURN (5) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 5½f at Colonial Downs (Turf). One of the leading chances. REAL CONVICTION (9) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at this track, beaten 18 lengths into fifth after being in contention on the bend. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat.
