HEY PAL (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to take this out. ISOLA D'ORO (2) was an effortless maiden winner last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 6 lengths. Re-unites with Reyluis Gutierrez who was on board last start. Capable of making it two on the trot. FIRST PITCH (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Aqueduct, beaten 9 lengths into fourth. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SWEET TONE (1) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 13 lengths. Nicely placed to bounce back.
