INTERLOCK EMPIRE (3) has switched yards since finishing fifth a month ago over 1710m at Evangeline Downs. Looks set to run well for the new barn. GOLDEN SYMPHONY (4) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths starting at $7.26. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. EXPENSIVE CUT (2) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only fifth over 1710m at Finger Lakes. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give backers a great sight. FIRST TRUMPET (8) was beaten 7 lengths into sixth in a 1673m contest at Finger Lakes last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
