EXCITE (5) built on a nice third when fresh from a lay-off two starts back in Listed grade at Fairmount Park (Dirt) with a win as favourite over 1m1f at Keeneland (Dirt) five weeks ago, getting home by 2. 5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. THOUGHTTHATCOUNTS (6) wound up strongly last time out to finish one length adrift in third over 7½f at this track. Leading player again. JACK'S PROMISE (2) has returned in good shape this campaign. Opened with a second at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 1. 75 lengths last time out over 6f at this track (Dirt). Vincent Cheminaud scored on him last time and retains the ride. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CAN'T HUSH THIS (8) knuckled down strongly to get within 0. 8 lengths of the winner in second last start over 7½f at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Deserves respect on best figures.
