COGNOSCENTI (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/2f at Aqueduct, beaten 1. 75 lengths into fifth. Faces an easier assignment so he can find the winners' list. OASIS PRINCE (1) finds it hard to win with just one success from 13 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 1. 3 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. MESSAGE OF HOPE (9) broke through for his maiden win over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic) last time, scoring by 4 lengths. Shaping up nicely and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. ROYAL SALUTE (2) returned from a lay-off two months ago when he was prominent at the turn before being beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
