Group 1 placegetter NEVER SURPRISED (9) is back from a lay-off of 15 months. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 1m1/2f at Tampa Bay Downs (Turf). Luis Saez has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Well placed and should be in the finish. Group 3 winner INDESTRUCTIBLE (10) was well held in the Keeneland Turf Mile Stakes won by Up To The Mark over 1m at Keeneland at his last appearance five months ago. Well placed and expected to feature. STAT (14) was fresh from a two months break last start and scored by 1.5 lengths at this track (Turf). Has a good record at this track with two wins and two minor placings. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. J P HELLISH (2) went forward and gave a great sight when second over 1m at this track (Turf) last time out. Has a win and two minor placings from four starts at this track and distance. Deserves respect on best figures.
