WHEN HEROES FLY (4) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was handy all the way over 1m at this track (Turf). Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. CITADINO (2) wasn't far off maiden success before a 11 weeks break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at this track (Dirt). Taking on a longer trip to kick off this prep. Rates highly and is a strong chance to take this out. PROMISSIO (9) did little and finished 17 lengths from the winner in eighth over 6½f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Oaklawn Park the run before. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. EMPIRE'S CLASSIC (6) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1m1/4f at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Has ability and must be included in calculations.
