Deftera Fantutte had shown some potential on Polytrack before a fair effort in a maiden here last month, though that wasn't much of a race. Greenhead High has had some success here but it was a long time ago and he's been beaten in poor company lately. Sleet has never won and has been racing over longer trips so the vote goes to UNDER APPROVAL, whose only victory has come on this track and who made a promising return after a break when close up in a handicap here last month.
