LUCA MACHINE (5) was beaten just a nose last start and landed his first top-three finish in the process at Laurel (Turf) over 1m. Looks close to a win. GREY BIGGSY (6) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m1/2f at Laurel, beaten 2.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a major player. HIDDEN MOTIVE (3) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m at Delaware Park (Turf), beaten 7 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. When resuming over 5½f at monmouth park (turf), beaten 9 lengths. Should do much better.
