PATRIARCHAL (6) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by half a length over 1m. Has a strong record here, including two wins. Sure to go well. JOHN'S ROCK (3) is a distance specialist who has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Mountaineer Park (Dirt), most recently beaten 2. 25 lengths into second over 6f at this track (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Likely improver with strong prospects. AFRAIDOFTHEBUNNY (1) is fresh from a lay-off of 11 weeks and did hit the frame when last resuming at Parx (Dirt) over 6½f. In a different yard now. Sure to make his presence felt. WONDERFUL JUSTICE (7) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at this track (Dirt) over 1m. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
