KOUFAX (4) returned from a lay-off five-and-a-half weeks ago when he was in contention on the corner before being beaten 4 lengths into seventh over 1m1/2f at Fairgrounds. Meets some better types this time but a better run will not surprise. VITTORIO (3) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Finds a more suitable contest and can run another big race. CALIFORNIA TIGER (8) finished 11 lengths behind the winner in eighth place when resuming over 1m1/2f last start at this track (Dirt). Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Ready to find peak form this time. DEMOTIVATE (2) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1m1/2f contest at this track last time out by 0.8 lengths. Sure to be competitive.
