AZTEC RULER (12) bounced straight into a handy position from the inside draw before finishing sixth when resuming from a lay-off last time out over 6f in the LR Black Heart Bart (Birthday) Stakes at Belmont Park. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. MAGNIFICENT ANDY (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when 11th, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 6f in the LR Black Heart Bart (Birthday) Stakes at Belmont Park after he got a long way back. Has a solid record at the third run in and is expected to do much better. SUPER SMINK (13) is a genuine four-year-old mare who resumed with a solid third last time out in the LR Black Heart Bart (Birthday) Stakes at Belmont Park over 6f. Should be in the finish. A LOT OF GOOD MEN (6) scored a commanding win in the G2 WATC Derby at this track over 1m4f at his latest appearance on April 13. Has to be respected.
