BATON ROUGE (5) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 1m1f at Ellis Park (Dirt). Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Likely to feature. MACKMAN (10) is a progressive four-year-old entire who resumes from a break of 12 weeks, his last appearance being a win over 1m1/4f at Delaware Park (Dirt). Has never missed the frame when fresh from a lay-off in two starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Best figures should see him run well. BOURBON RESOLVE (7) finished fourth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out after being prominent at the bend to score by 4 lengths as public elect over 1m1/4f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Tyler Gaffalione gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. GAME WARDEN (12) comes here following a win over 1m1f at Saratoga four weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Has a strong association with Ricardo Santana Jr who has been aboard for the last two wins. Major contender.
