CELTIC FLAME (12) got the prize two runs ago at Turfway Park. Safely held last time out when third over 1m1/2f at Aqueduct Turf, beaten 4 lengths. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. SIOUX EMPIRE (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1m at Delaware Park, beaten 8 lengths into fifth. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to turn the recent form around. ALAKAN (6) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1m1/2f at Laurel Turf (Turf), beaten 0. 8 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. PARKES (11) hit the frame two starts ago at Laurel Turf but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 4 lengths over 7½f at this track (Turf). Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
