Multiple Group 3 winner CANDY MAN ROCKET (7) is a talented entire who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 11 lengths behind Cogburn over 5½f in the G2 Twin Spires Turf Sprint Stakes at this track (Turf). This looks a more suitable assignment. Group 2 placegetter FORT WARREN (8) opened this campaign last start with a second, beaten 3 lengths, over 1m at this track. Is rarely far away and has amassed two wins from his appearances. Among the top chances. PRO OXIDANT (4) scored by one length over 6f at this track (Dirt) last start when returning from a break. Has a strong record this course, scoring at three of five starts. Should be involved in the finish. MACRON (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 5½f at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.
