DURATION (9) is going well with four minor placings from five starts this time in work. Continued the trend last time out when third over 1408m at this track (Dirt) after he was always up in the leading division. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. PERRETTI (3) returns after eight months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1609m at Gulfstream Park (Turf). Launched last prep with a minor placing at Aqueduct over 1710m. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. BLAST FURNACE (8) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1710m at Aqueduct (Turf) after showing good early speed. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. SALAMIS (2) is back from a spell of four months. Closed last prep with a third, beaten 5 lengths, over 1710m at Keeneland.
