NEW YORK STRONG (8) is back from a lay-off of 12 weeks. Closed last prep with a seventh, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park. Profiles nicely. STATELY ORDER (5) remains a maiden after four runs. Had plenty of admirers last time but could only manage to finish fifth over 1m1/4f at Penn National (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. CHANGING THE KARMA (2) is a five-year-old gelding who is still a maiden after 22 starts but has been in the placings four times. Failed to threaten when 9 lengths from the winner in sixth when resuming last start over 1m at this track (Turf). Should do far better this time. MAX'S GLORY (6) has been in the placings two times from seven outings. Last start finished fourth when fresh from a lay-off over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record here with two top-three finishes to his name. Must be respected.
