Verdict

BLUE HERO scored here last month and has now won four of his eight starts at the track. He drops back down in trip but remains on a winning mark and can go in again. Villalobos also returns to a mile having been in the mix on the Polytrack while Send In The Clouds is unexposed on Turf though has just the one win in 19 starts on the all-weather. Bold And Loyal finished runner-up at Yarmouth last week but hasn’t won anywhere yet.
