Multiple Group 3 placegetter STAGE LEFT (1) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at Delaware Park but couldn't back it up last start when eighth, beaten 99 lengths, over 6½f at Aqueduct (Dirt). Has the class to produce a better result. METALLIC MAN (9) displayed plenty of early toe over 6f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) last time and dug deep to score by one length. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. TALLAHATCHIEBRIDGE (2) was below his best last time out when 11 lengths from the winner in seventh over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Better than that and can feature on his best form. SIR OLLIE (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Churchill Downs, beaten 1.5 lengths into fifth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
