Group 2 placegetter SPEED BIAS (7) finished 8 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1m1/2f at this track five weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Should be prominent from the outset. Best figures should see him run well. Group 2 winner DOUBLE CROWN (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 9 lengths away in third over 1m in stakes class at Laurel (Dirt). Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. Group 2 placegetter RED RUN (13) finished a 5 length ninth on turf at Gulfstream Park in a then followed up with a minor placing on turf at Sam Houston Park over 1m4f two months ago. Takes on much easier opposition this time. Should measure up in this field. O P FIRECRACKER (3) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only fifth over 1m1/2f at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. Don't underestimate.
