MIDNIGHT ONYX (8) did little and finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 7f at this track last start after being in the firing line on the bend, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. ZINGALES KING (7) won his maiden three starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at his last two runs, most recently when second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Samuel Marin stays aboard. Sure to play a big role. TOOMUCHAINTENOUGH (3) has not been sighted since he finished fifth over 6f at this track on April 12. Should run very well. BLACK SEAL (5) resumes from a lay-off of nine weeks. Has filled a minor placing at both when resuming runs. Opened last prep with a second over 5½f at Gulfstream Park. One of the better prospects.
