CITY LEADER (7) is racing well and has registered four minor placings in a row, last time out finishing third over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Generally takes a sit but the draw makes it tricky. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. DEL RAYO (3) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) when beaten 1.5 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Among the leading chances. HAWKS CREEK (8) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when sixth, beaten 13 lengths, over this journey at Prairie Meadows (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. FINN MCSORLEY (2) last appeared a month ago over 1710m at Colonial Downs Turf when he finished eighth. This is his first run for the Thomas Garner stable. Well-placed and is among the chances.
