DR NIKO (4) is a five-start maiden who finished fifth after being in the firing line on the turn at his most recent appearance over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. ROARING RAPIDS (8) finished 9 lengths adrift in sixth when fresh from a layoff last start over 5f at Lone Star Park (Turf). Placed at his only other second up appearance. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. E LION (1) is back after a break of 12 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished seventh over 5f at Churchill Downs (Turf). Has ability and is a leading player. SAFE BET (6) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 9 lengths, over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up.
