PATRIARCHAL (8) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Will enjoy a drop in class so he will prove hard to beat. WONDERFUL JUSTICE (6) has switched yards since resuming with a tenth over 1811m at Turfway Park. Did score at this stage when last in work at Aqueduct over 1911m. Racing for the first time under a new trainer Nestor Rivera. Solid chance for the new barn. DEADPAN (2) got the prize two runs ago at Charles Town. Safely held last time out when fourth over 1710m at Charles Town, beaten 9 lengths. Has the class to find the winners' list. COLONEL VARGO (1) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when third over 1207m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Nicely placed to play a leading role.
