STAR OF THE BEAST (8) is a seven-start maiden who has been in the money two times, Could only manage fifth last time out over 5½f at this track (Synthetic). Has recorded two top-three finishes from six runs at this venue. Sure to prove very tough to beat. KALIMAN (2) is closing in on a win after two consecutive minor placings, the latest when third over 7½f at this track (Turf). Finds a nice assignment and this might be his day. MOR SPRING SPIRIT (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 18 lengths when fourth over 7f at this track five weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. PAEZ (3) made progress last time out, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in third over 6f at Tampa Bay Downs. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
