VIA MONTE (1) has been out of the money at his last couple, the latest in city class when 12th at Belmont Park, beaten 8 lengths. Better placed in this easier assignment and should regain form. TOTAL LOCKDOWN (5) defied his big price last time when beaten just 0.9 lengths into third over 6f at this track. Well placed and should be in the finish. ZING TO WIN (6) has been in great form recently, the latest effort a dominant win by 6 lengths over 6f at this track. Winning rider Troy Turner retains the mount. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EEVALINA (3) turned in a better run last start, beaten 2.75 lengths into sixth over 6½f at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
