Captivator will push forward again today along with Madison Point. Could be a few hopes despite the field size. CAPTIVATOR has only run well this course. He gets up on the speed and battles away. Jeff Lloyd now goes on as well which helps. FUTURE EVENT led last run and that was positive. He has a jockey who enjoys doing that. Does look to be suited here. BRAINS has missed by a nose both his last two. He gets a soft run in transit so only needs to get out in time. CRUZ DE VEGA is a bit untapped coming off lower wins. Suspect the longer race is no drawback. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captivator for the win.
