They race on the all-weather (AWT) for this event and there might be a play with DEAL MAKER. This galloper is having his third start of the season and caught the eye at his last outing. Then, he missed the start badly, I’m not sure if by design or not, before being held-up and storming home late to finish third to Winning Supreme. Providing he can jump better here and hold a position from barrier 1, he looks very interesting. Obviously, NOBLE DE LOVE has been in excellent form but he has never tried the surface on raceday. That said, most of the Commands progeny seem to go well on the dirt here. MICKEY RICH comes through the same form line as Deal Maker (Race 318) and the manner in which he hit the line suggested he could go close again. NICE KICK is seemingly always in the market and based on his overall form, with the right run, should be thereabouts again. In terms of his price, well I won’t recommend taking anything shorter than $6.00 for him. Deal Maker is the runner I’m happy to back though.
