AFTER TAXES (1) was in commission second up last start and was in the frame for the second time in as many runs this prep, finishing second over 1m at this track (Turf). Fitter and should be in the finish. TOMASELLO (6) is a three-start maiden who is close to a win following two recent minor placings, the latest when second over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic). Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. DUBLIN'S KNIGHT (11) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1m at this track (Turf). Expected to feature with improvement to come. GOLDEN CHANNEL (3) ran a fair race on debut last time out, beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic) on January 18. Right in this.
