EXCEL CALCULATOR (3) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1811m at this track last start. Emmanuel Esquivel has registered two minor placings when on board. Should be in the finish. QUALITY CHIC (6) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on March 27, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths over 1811m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Expect him to play a major role. TIME FOR TROUBLE (1) is a distance specialist who missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1710m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GREAT ESCAPE (7) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 lengths into sixth. Well placed to turn things around.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming ran last of 8 at Evangeline Downs in LR on April 4 over 1609m, 22 len behind Perry County with 54kg at $11.90. Second run from a spell ran second last of 7 at this track on May 22 over 1609m, 21 len behind Bourbon's Fault with 53.5kg at $5.43. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 4th of 7 at this track on May 31 over 1207m, 8 len behind Bebedouro with 53.5kg at $3.29. The race before that 4th in a small field at Oaklawn Park on April 23 over 1207m, 7 len behind Capital Connection with 56.5kg at $1.70. Deserves another chance.
