STRONSINO (5) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 7 lengths win over 1m at Laurel (Dirt). Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and is sure to go well. CYBERTOWN (7) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. HOLIDAY PAY (1) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 28 lengths into tenth over 1m1f at Saratoga. Has never missed the frame second up. Tackling a more suitable race so he is a key runner. WINTERS LION (2) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 1.3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
