FACE DOWN (4) has been in the money at both runs this prep, the latest when beaten 4 lengths into third over 6f at this track (Synthetic). Great chance to break through. J R JONE Z (1) is progressing well this campaign. Opened with a 11th at Laurel (Turf) two starts back then scored by 0.3 lengths last time out after being in the firing line on the bend over 6f at this track (Synthetic). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. MACKENZIE'S NOVVA (7) stuck on well last start to finish third over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic) after showing good early speed. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another bold race. STRIDER'S SLIDER (5) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 13 lengths into sixth over 6f at Penn National. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish.
