Hoppy's Flyer went close over 7f here last time could figure again but POWERFUL PIERRE is preferred. He found only one too good over track and trip on his penultimate start and should go close with a repeat effort. Gregori could make the frame back on this surface and Diamond Vine has bits of form that entitle him to consideration. Camache Queen has slipped down the weights and may prove best of the rest.
