BLUES CROSS (3) has been racing well without winning. Last start finished second, beaten 0. 8 lengths, over 7½f at this track (Turf). Handy draw will assist so a well-deserved win is on the cards. MOONRISE DRIVE (7) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 20 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1m at this track, beaten 3. 5 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. BEARS' D (1) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by half a length over 7½f at this track (Turf). Aided by the rails draw and he should be in the finish again. PALAGIO (9) opened this prep with a win then couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1m1/2f at Keeneland, beaten 13 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
