Formscan  - Uncle Sam is the only runner who won last time out, but that was in October last year for Kevin Ryan and he has been gelded since for new connections. Captain Vallo deserves a sixth career success after finishing second on his last two starts, but a chance is taken on HURSTWOOD. Nine times a winner over this trip and placed here twice, he must have every chance.
