RAPIDITY (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6f at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to play a big role. BEACH COWBOY (4) was beaten just a nose last start when second in a small field over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Leading contender. MAT MATTERS (3) has recorded five minor placings from five starts this campaign, the latest when third as a well-fancied conveyance over 5½f at Delaware Park (Dirt). He looks a genuine threat. DOC LINKOUS (1) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Claudio A Gonzalez. By Hoppertunity from Love You Crazy. Top-three chance.
