RECKONING FORCE (4) settled well back before finishing 2.25 lengths adrift in fourth over 1m in the G3 Franklin-Simpson Mile Stakes at Kentucky (Turf) last time. Well-placed to return to winning form. FILM STAR (7) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 3 lengths over 1m at Listed level at Parx (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. REDISTRICTING (1) was well held in the Hollywood Derby won by Program Trading over 1m1f at Del Mar at his last appearance 11 months ago. Finds the right race to make his mark. FORT WASHINGTON (3) could only manage eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m1/2f at Saratoga, beaten 2.25 lengths. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.
