THREE CAPTAINS (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1m at Aqueduct, beaten 12 lengths into fourth. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. VENEZUELAN TRIUMPH (1) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when sixth, beaten 10 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. FORMAL AFFAIR (7) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 6f at Delaware Park (Dirt) when beaten one length. Among the leading chances. INBOUND (2) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1m at this track (Dirt), finishing fourth and beaten 1.75 lengths. Best figures measure up. Set to run well again.
