LORD GRANTHAM (2) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when sixth, beaten 6 lengths, over this journey at Hawthorne (Dirt). Won't find this as tough so he is one of the main contenders. BERNIE LOMAX (3) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth in a 6f contest at this track two weeks ago. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. ORBITAL STARR (1) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest offering a second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt). Form here at the trip is sound with two wins and two minor placings from six runs. Can figure prominently in this suitable race. MY LITTLE TIPSY (4) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 6f at this track. Reynier Arrieta gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
