KUNOOZ (2) has switched yards since finishing 11th two-and-a-half weeks ago over 1m1/2f at Delaware Park. Key runner. VENIK (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. The engagement of S Spieth is noteworthy. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. VALIANT EXCHANGE (3) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 6f at this track (Synthetic), scoring by 0.3 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and he is a major player again. THUNDER CANE (1) did a great job to score by 2.25 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought.
