WEST PALM BEACH (10) turned in a fine effort to win by a nose at today's track and distance last start in a much improved run. No reason he cannot salute again. CITY MAGIC (1) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.3 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LONE RANGER (3) has been knocking on the door with a couple of recent placings, the latest when third at this track, and gets some weight relief today. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will be in this for a long way. GRAN ALASKA (8) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when 15th and beaten 16 lengths over 1200m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
