SO GRAND (2) just missed last time when 0.3 lengths away in second at this track (Synthetic) over 1207m. Great chance to score. STARK COUNTY (1) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 8 lengths from the winner in seventh at Laurel Turf (Turf) over 1609m. Improvement to come and the addition of blinkers is a positive sign. ALABAMA SLEEPER (6) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1207m at this track (Synthetic) when third, beaten 5 lengths. Has plenty of upside so he is a strong chance. VIOLIN FINGERS (7) was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1207m at this track at his latest appearance. Capable of featuring prominently.
