LIEUTENANT STAN (1) is close to a win after a string of recent placings, the latest when second over 1106m at this track (Synthetic). Has a fair record at this trip with a win and six minor placings so no reason he cannot take this out. RONIC (4) is a seven-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the J Guciardo barn. Resumes after finishing tenth at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) at his last run 11 weeks ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Among the leading chances. KEYSTONE HANK (6) settled in a rearwards position and never came on when resuming last start, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths over 1106m at this track (Synthetic). Nicely placed to feature in the finish. LEONARD'S LEGACY (8) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 14 lengths into seventh over 1106m at this track (Synthetic). Should park just off the speed. Must be respected.
