Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. TATANKA (8) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 1m at Ellis Park (Turf) last time out. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be in the finish. VAX A NATION (1) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start over 1m1/2f at Delaware Park (Turf), beaten 0.3 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. Group 2 placegetter IT CAN BE DONE (6) returned from a break last start with an all-the-way win over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf), getting home by 0.3 lengths.
