PEACE CRUSADER has a decent chance on the figures and looks the safest choice. Merging Traffic should find the return to this distance a good move and should go well too. Electioneering commands respect as well.

VerdictThird last time out at Delaware Park 6 days ago. Back at a more appropriate distance today. Has fewer weaknesses than most and likely to be in the shake up.

VerdictSole appearance so far when well beaten in maiden claimer here. Some doubt as to whether this longer distance will be ideal. Trying a new distance but makes little appeal.

VerdictStill after first win. Pick of efforts when sixth 4¾ lengths behind Streamsong in maiden special weight at Presque Isle Downs. Well held last time and bounce back required. Not easy to see being thereabouts in the finish.
