HOPE'S ALIVE (3) finished seventh two runs back at Listed level at Delaware Park (Turf) then improved last time out to score by half a length as favourite after being in the firing line on the turn over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. WHERE'S MY CHEW (4) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track (Dirt) over 1673m. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. ARCTIC OUTBREAK (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when seventh in a 1811m contest at Laurel a month ago. Has the ability to produce a better result. NOTTURNO (2) stuck on well last start to finish third over 1673m at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat.
