STRATEGIST (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m at Ellis Park, beaten 4 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. TASK FORCE (1) returns after four months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1m1/2f at Pimlico (Dirt). Has ability and is a solid chance. CITY PANDA (3) broke through for his maiden win over 6½f at Timonium (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Winning rider Y O Ortiz stays aboard and he should be in the finish again. TRIPLE SEC (4) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in sixth at his most recent outing over 1m at Colonial Downs (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
