PUCKISH (3) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months and did win first-up last time in work over 905m at this track (Dirt). Key runner while fresh. BUSTIN AWAY (2) comes here off a break of four months. Scored over 905m at this track at the start of last prep. Has never tasted defeat when fresh from a spell in three attempts. Has ability and should be right in the finish. SCARAMANGA (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf, beaten 4 lengths into eighth. Won't find this as tough so he is set to turn things around. PRINCE OF TRUTH (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 5 lengths away in third over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Well placed to figure prominently again.
