TUSCAN GOLD (1) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 8 lengths away in fourth over 1m1 1/2f in the G1 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico (Dirt) on May 18. Has won when fresh from a lay-off in the past. Winning rider Tyler Gaffalione stays aboard. Among the leading chances. GOD'S TIMING (5) bounced back last start and got the job done by half a length after being in contention on the corner as public elect over 1m1/4f at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. MALARCHUK (6) is a promising galloper who saluted at his only run last prep nine months ago over 1m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Has a strong fresh record including a win and two minor placings. Should be prominent from the outset. One of the main contenders. HEARTENED (3) returned from a lay-off a month ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into fifth over 1m1/2f at this track. Fitter so a likely improver.
