RAMSES THE GREAT (2) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when eighth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1673m at Delaware Park Turf (Turf). Has the class to take this out. EPIC SUMMER (4) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 1207m at this track (Synthetic) when he was always up in the leading division. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DENALI LIGHTNING (5) last appeared when he finished ninth over 1207m at Prairie Meadows (Dirt) on July 11. Has to be respected. ALEXANDER K (6) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by 0.3 lengths over 1207m. Addiel J Ayala stays aboard. Worth including in calculations.

Most recently ran second last of 8 at this track on August 31 over 1207m, 12 len behind Maybern with 53.5kg at $3.60. The run before that 2nd in a small field at this track on August 14 over 1106m, 2.5 len behind Hightail Fox carrying 53.5kg at $3.90. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.
