SECRETARY OF WAR (1) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track (Synthetic) over 1673m. Good record at this journey with four wins and 10 minor placings from 19 starts and is sure to play a big role. WICKED FINN (6) started at $3.90 last time but could only manage ninth, beaten 5 lengths, at this track over 1673m. Deserves another chance. KEYSTONE HANK (7) finds it hard to win with four victories from 40 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has the class to figure prominently. LIGHTNING CHARLIE (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1673m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fifth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
