12 Cure(L) 123 Dominguez 4-3-2 Brown 7-2

Leadwithyourchin logs solid final fractions on best and is training sharply for first start in seven weeks. Cookram Rock is 2-for-3 on Spa turf and makes third start since seven-month layoff; very playable. Midnite Silver owns very fast numbers, but takes suspicious class drop and shows light work slate for first start in 62 days; less than 100 percent? Fastus Cactus could prove very tough on a soft lead.
