ROYALAMERICAN (9) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of four-and-a-half months and looking to emulate his win at Will Rogers Downs to kick off the last campaign. Expected to feature. STRONG POTENTIAL (6) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 1207m at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Has a good association with S Elliott with a run of four top-three results. Best form puts him right in this. CANNED HEAT (7) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing eighth last time out over 1710m at Prairie Meadows. Has a strong record at this course, scoring two times from four starts. One of the contenders. DUTTON'S SONG (3) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at Lone Star Park, beaten one length. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
