SILENT RESERVE (1) is a promising type who scored at his only run last prep six-and-a-half months ago over 5f at this track. Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. Has a superb record here at the journey with three wins and a 100% top-three strike rate. Well placed and should be in the finish. OLD CHESTNUT (3) multiple Group 3 placegetter. Is back from a break of three months. Only raced once last campaign which was a narrow defeat over 5½f at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic). Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. LA BELLEZA NEGRA (4) is back from a break of three months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when sixth over 6½f at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Yet to miss the top three here in four starts. Strong claims on his best form. STEP FORWARD (2) is back from a lay-off of nine months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 7f at this track. Top-three claims.
