BELZONI (6) was prominent at the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1710m at Keeneland after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to take this out. KAMASSA (8) faced the starter for the first time and was well supported but could only manage fourth last start at this track (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 4 lengths. Expected to be very competitive. WILEY OPERATOR (3) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Steven Asmussen. By American Pharoah from Social Distancing. Expect a bold run. TORCELLO (4) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of B H Cox. By Constitution from Golden Mischief. Watch the market closely.

Returns from a 38-day let-up. Most recently gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 11 at Keeneland on October 4 over 1710m, 0.3 len behind Damavand with 54kg at $3.08. Before that 5th of 7 at Saratoga on September 5 over 1408m, 18 len behind U S S Valor with 56kg at $3.05. Capable of a strong showing.
