CRUISE THE NILE (5) disappointed when 4 lengths back in eighth last time over 1m in the G3 Kelso (Forbidden Apple) Stakes at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Kept fresh for this. Expected to bounce back. AIR RECRUIT (3) is a promising five-year-old gelding who returned from a break last start and finished 0. 3 lengths away in second over 1m1f at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf). Should be in the finish. NEAT (2) finished 6 lengths back in tenth in stakes company last time over 1m in the G3 Kelso (Forbidden Apple) Stakes at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Did win two runs back by 0. 3 lengths at Listed level at this track (Turf). Goes very well at this journey, boasting four wins from five starts and shapes as a key runner. RUNNING BEE (6) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing fifth over 1m1f in the G1 Old Forester Turf Classic at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) 15 months ago. Yet to miss the frame from six starts at this journey, including four wins and cannot be taken lightly.
