None of this bunch inspire much confidence. PIPERS PIPING found only one too good in a similar event over track and trip last time and he gets the token vote on that form. Classy Trick wasn't beaten far here on his latest start but has come up short in this lowly grade before while Fleetwoodsands finished a close-up fifth at Kempton recently behind Miami Gator, who runs earlier on the card. Clear Loch has plummeted down the weights without yet showing any benefit and Aureolin Gulf has been placed at this level before.
