Hero D’Oro and Irked are likely improvers but have both drawn on the outside. East Lex finished a lot closer at Fair Ground last time but leading jockey Luis Saez partners stablemate Turn Of Events despite the latter failing to reproduce an earlier third here while Elusive Ruler is looking to put a poor run behind him having been recently gelded. The Curlin newcomer Coach Temple is worth noting but a speculative vote goes to LASCARI, who ran well for a long way in this grade on his debut and should be in the mix with normal progress.
