There is little between Unpublished and He Iz Gone on earlier running here. The former came out best when they last met and will appreciate the return to this level having struggled in better company subsequently but a chance is taken MORE THAN STRIKING handles this step up in class. The latter blazed into a four-length lead in the early stages over a mile here last month but was caught in the homestretch and this shorter trip under a more restrained ride could see him go very close. Joe Di Baggio finished well ahead of Kyle when scoring over 7f at the track in December and looks best of the rest.
