WAR SALUTE (5) performed above expectations when resuming last time over 1006m at Penn National Turf (Turf), finishing half a length from the winner in second after starting at huge odds. Should camp just off the leaders. Leading contender. DESIGNED BY SMARTY (4) had been racing well with two placings on end before finishing sixth last start over 1006m at Penn National Turf. Returns to the course where he finished third two runs back. Well placed here can return to his best form. MARCHIN INTO APRIL (6) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start when he made late ground but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Nicely placed to take this out. MENCKE (3) lines up on the back of a 6 length third over 1207m at this track. Key player.
