PARADISE VALLEY (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1408m at Saratoga (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a major player. EAST COAST GIRL (9) could only manage eighth last start over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf), beaten 5 lengths. Has a strong record this course, scoring at eight of 13 starts. Sure to be there at the business end. SCOOT DADDY (3) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1308m on March 28. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins and one placing. Looks a strong top-three prospect. POMPOUS PRINCE (1) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Well placed to figure prominently again.
