DESERT GATE (5) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 9 lengths win over 1m in Listed grade at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. AVERY PLACE (3) made it two wins in a row last start when he scored by 1. 75 lengths over 1m1f in Listed grade at Sunland Park (Dirt). Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. CHAD ALLAN (6) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second in Listed grade at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1m1f. Great chance to grab that well-deserved win. ZILARRO (2) went forward over 1m1f at Listed level at Sunland Park (Dirt) last time but found a couple better. S Elliott stays on. Deserves respect.
