Doradus should find the front with County Kilkenny and Dolce Dior on his heels. STANDARD DEVIATION (3) finished runner-up over this course and distance last time out and will be ready to peak now third-up from the break. Hoop McDonald sticks in the irons following that last-start placing and should be right there when the whips are cracking. THINK I DO (9) has placed over this track and trip and gets in well at the weights with the claim. Maps nicely for this from gate five and is good enough to feature in the finish. The well-related DORADUS (1) (half to G1 winner Youngstar) has hit a purple patch this time in work with a win and two seconds from three outings. Can continue the rich vein of form. SUPREME SOVEREIGN (7) gets Berry on board from the low draw and may make his presence felt. FIOPROSPERO (2) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Standard Deviation.
