COLLOQUIAL (2) was less than a length from the winner in second at Aqueduct (Dirt) on debut before showing the benefit of that race experience when an impressive winner over 6½f at Aqueduct last start when resuming. Has plenty of upside and can measure up again. ROLANDO (8) made it two wins on the bounce last time out when he scored by 0.3 lengths over 6f in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but he can win again. SMOKEN WICKED (3) is a talented colt who was tested in tougher class last time when 13th over 1m1/2f in the G2 Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Capable of testing this field. GATE TO WIRE (5) is a talented colt who was tested in tougher class last time when fifth over 1m1/2f in the G2 Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Can feature in the finish.
