NINO ROSSO (3) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1500m at this track. Placed to advantage and can go one better here. YOU TIGER (6) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track. He is peaking at the right time, and he can take this out. MELNIKOVA (7) finished well back over 1000m at this track at her most recent appearance on February 24. Looks like a strong top-4 prospect in this easier assignment. WAR RELIC (8) started at $6.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth at this track over 1400m. Suitably placed, so anticipating a big run this time.
