LUSCIFER is thriving and had a good bit up his sleeve when scoring over C&D 9 days ago, so he's fancied to overcome a 5-lb rise as he bids for his fourth win in five starts. Fenix did too much too soon last time but the switch to this surface will likely suit on just her second outing for a stable that had a treble here on Thursday, so a bold showing is expected from her.
