Gato Guapo has the form to figure but has drawn wide and Ty Kennedy sticks with progressive stablemate MILTONTOWN (NAP). The latter landed a double in allowance company when stepped up to today’s trip last time and should go close again for Robertino Diodoro’s in-form yard. Vangilder won a stakes race at Albuquerque last year but hasn’t raced since September while Grade One has the form to figure at this level. Eagle Pass beat Gold Buyer and Gentrified in a handicap here recently though the latter was sent off favourite and better is expected in this.
