LINCOLN HAWK (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 23 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1m1/2f at Monmouth Park. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. SPORTS EDITOR (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1m1/2f at Laurel after being in contention on the bend. This doesn't look as hard so he is a big chance to get the prize. WHAT DOES IT TAKE (8) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.5 lengths. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Worth noting Jamie Rodriguez goes aboard. Hard to beat in this suitable race. REGAL KINGDOM (6) finished sixth over 1m4f at Keeneland (Turf) at his most recent appearance on April 14. Definite top-three chance.
