KING OF FRANCE (1) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 7f at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Likely improver with strong prospects. RIPPER RUPERT (12) is a four-start maiden who finished fifth after being in the firing line on the corner at his most recent appearance over 6f at Belmont Park. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. VAIN UNIVERSE (7) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 1.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. AMIRA GIRL (9) resumed last start over 6f at this track and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish third, beaten 0.6 lengths. Solid top-three prospects.
