PLAY HARDER (6) was quickly into stride over 5½f at this track (Dirt) last time and defied all challengers to score by 0.8 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DERBYNESS (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1m1/2f at Pimlico (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. THE BAND RUNS ON (7) was in contention on the turn and finished third last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. INCINERATOR (5) finished 7 lengths from the winner in tenth last time out over 1m1/2f at Keeneland (Turf) on April 13. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Should give backers a sight.
