A solid tempo is anticipated with Burton Street and Ice Symphony kicking up to hold out the next wave. RICHE D'AMOUR (1) is a genuine racehorse and he looks to have found a suitable race to register another city win. He was an impressive last-start winner at this track and he's drawn to get a similar run, albeit must carry a bit more weight. SIGN FROM ABOVE (9) was well backed last start but was only fair. This is no easier but she deserves respect. CASH (4) is the most interesting runner all day. He's a million-dollar colt that won his only start in the spring. He doesn't show a lot in his trials but there is obvious quality and plenty of upside there. SOLAR BLAST (10) and WARPARTY (7) are others to throw into the equation. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Riche D'amour to win again.
