MAYNARD (8) was impressive last time at this track (Synthetic), scoring by 7 lengths over this trip. Has a strong record here at this journey with three wins from four runs. Leading contender. HARD MISSION (2) started at 13/2 last time on the back of a win at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf) two starts ago but was below his best, finishing sixth over 1m at this track (Synthetic). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. COUPERIN (1) had been racing well prior to finishing 5.5 lengths back in fourth over 1m1/2f at Penn National (Dirt). Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and shapes as one to consider. DOUBLE THUNDER (4) returned from a lay-off eight weeks ago when he was in contention on the turn before being beaten 7 lengths into eighth over 1m at this track. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish.
