JUST A HOLIDAY (2) finished 6 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1308m at Kentucky five weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best form puts him right in this. BELZONI (7) has started twice, running a good second on debut then finishing fifth, beaten 18 lengths, last time over 1408m at Saratoga (Dirt). Sits handy in the run. Expected to prove tough to beat. JOKES RESERVE (12) turned in a much better run at his second appearance last time out when half a length from the winner in second over 1609m at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Progressing well and is among the chances. DAMAVAND (4) didn't do a lot on debut four weeks ago, finishing 9 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt). Will take a lot from that experience. Expected to do more.
