Odds: 3-1
Race 1 Comments: CHIEF OF STAFF cleared late and flew home to miss by less than a length in latest following a powerful wide rally from 7-hole two back. 5-year-old appears on edge and should get the job done from this spot.

Race 2 Comments: MR MCREAMY is hard to back with much confidence based on current form but takes a key drop after chasing scorching miles and may get going against a weak bunch looking to improve on 2 for 43 record over past two seasons.
