CAPTAIN COOK (2) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1m1f in Group 3 grade at Aqueduct (Dirt). Will again be prominent from the outset. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. FLOOD ZONE (8) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Scored back-to-back wins before running below his best at the last run of the prep, finishing seventh over 1m1 1/2f in the G2 UAE Derby at Meydan Dirt. Did launch his last prep with a minor placing over 6f at Gulfstream Park. Leading contender. VERIFIRE (10) scored last start at Pimlico (Dirt) to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Should be prominent from the outset. Will give backers a great sight. DREAMINBLUE (12) drifted well back then came with a powerful run to finish 0.8 lengths from the winner in second when resuming last start over 5f at this track (Dirt). Tough to stop again.
