TICKLED QUIST (7) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.5 lengths away in second over 1m1/2f at Fairgrounds (Turf). Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. VIVALDI (13) finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m1f at Tampa Bay Downs (Turf) after he was prominent at the bend. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. SUMOOD (11) showed promise on debut last time out when in the money over 1m1/2f at Turfway Park (Synthetic), beaten 0.3 lengths. Likely improver so he is among the leading chances. SARDIS (3) is yet to break through after 10 starts but not far off a win. Placed in a then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 7½f at Gulfstream Park (Turf). Can sneak into the finish.
