Stake: $39,715

DANCING DENAE (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 12 lengths when fifth over 1609m at this track seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the ability to produce a better result. PENCIL ME IN (2) broke through for his maiden win over 1710m at this track (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Winning rider Andres Chavez sticks and he is worth including. STICKTOTHESYSTEM (6) has been freshened up since he finished seventh over 1207m at this track (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will be in this for a long way. DIVOT DIGGER (5) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1609m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), finishing tenth and beaten 17 lengths. Backmarker who keeps coming. Can run on into the finish.
