MONSIEUR CANDY (3) is a progressive four-year-old gelding who hasn't raced since finishing third over 5f at Churchill Downs (Turf) on June 16. Has never been out of the placings when resuming from two tries. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. CIGARETTE BOAT (9) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 5½f at this track (Turf), making it three minor placings in a row. Should race just off the speed despite the wide draw. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. MARCUS GIFT (8) was too good for a maiden field last start over 5½f at this track (Turf), scoring by 2 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Colby J Hernandez was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. This is tougher but he is capable of another big run. FROST MOUNTAIN (6) turned in a modest performance when tenth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 12 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Should be thereabouts.
