Good to Firm (Good in places) View all races

Formscan  - Several hold good chances in a deeply competitive handicap for amateur riders. TEX, who got up late to defy the consistent Dannick in a similar event over a mile here last month, should have no issues dropping back down a furlong and looks a key player on the forecast going. Fellow last-time winners Kaleidoscope Eyes and the veteran Documenting are also capable of holding their own in this company and are serious threats to the selection over this trip, while Norcross Brow and Son are just a couple of others with place claims.
