JUNIOR HOT SHOT (8) scored in a at this track but was below his best last time when fifth over 7f at this track. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. TRUE TEMPER (4) is having his first run since December 30 2023. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 6½f at this track at the start of last prep. Should be prominent. LUCKY SCORE (3) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 6f at this track. Change of jockey to Sahin Civaci who has a strong record when aboard with a win and six placings from seven rides. Fitter and poses a big threat. WICO (7) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Pat Parente barn. Most recently finished in the placings at Keeneland (Dirt) before going for a break. Hasn't trialled publicly but goes well fresh from a lay-off, filling a placing three times from six runs. Can run a bold race.
