ROWDY RIOT (1) won his maiden four starts back and is ready to salute again after a string of recent placings, the latest when third over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Proving a good combination with Rafael Bejarano with three straight placings. Sure to play a big role. PINELAND (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. STORMS HOME (9) returns from a layoff of nine months. Scored over 6f at this track to launch the last campaign. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. GATESKEEPER (6) got off the mark over 6f at this track (Dirt) last start, scoring by half a length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Francisco Arrieta was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. This is tougher but he cannot be underestimated.
