STRONG FINISH (6) found one marginally better when when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at Laurel (Dirt) after being prominent throughout. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. AARAJ (2) was safely held when third last time out over 5½f at Parx, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Faces an easier assignment so he can recapture winning form. ASCENDANCE (3) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1m at Laurel. Has a good record at this journey with two wins from seven starts. A bold showing is expected. THE HEIGHTS (7) did a great job to score by 2.25 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
