FINE FINISH (3) Showed strength on the speed initially before fading at the end 3rd last run at this venue and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Displaying good ability this preparation. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. FIONN (6) Pulled away to win last run at the track. Jockey Florent Geroux and trainer Brad H Cox link up well. Should get going late. Well placed and has solid claims. GOOD TEMPER (1) First run back after a break. Led from start to finish when winning last time at Keeneland and can save some energy from the barrier. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . TACO CAT BACKWARDS (7) Ran home strongly to win last time at this venue and showing improvement in recent outings. In a purple patch of form since returning from a spell. Knockout chance in this.

Resuming after a break. Went to the front and never looked back when winning last time at Keeneland and has minimal work to do from the draw. Expecting a solid performance.

Gave away some ground when 7th last run around here but can find a nice position from the draw. Has early speed and positions nicely. Entitled to be big odds.
