MACHO MUSIC (1) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when seventh over 7f in the G1 Woody Stephens Stakes at this track (Dirt). Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. SMOKEN WICKED (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 7f in Listed grade at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Won't find this as tough so he is likely to play a big role. MATI GOL (7) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 3.5 lengths win over 7f in stakes class at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. GARAMOND (2) was safely held last time when sixth over 1m1/2f at Listed level at Monmouth Park (Dirt) but may appreciate the shorter journey here. Rates well on previous form and worth another chance.
