BRAZILIAN CONEXAO (4) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at Colonial Downs (Dirt) with a win over 1609m at this track (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to figure in the finish. ASTOUND (3) got off the mark when resuming from a spell over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last start, scoring by half a length. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Alexis Achard was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Serious contender again with the confidence high. HORSE OF THE SEA (1) finished fourth over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on February 26. Has to be respected. STOLEN POWER (2) improved sharply last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 1673m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. Well placed to feature in the finish again.
