MACRON (1) finished fourth over 6f at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 2 lengths. Second up record is very strong. Strips fitter and can make amends. PRESSURE (7) finished fourth when resuming last start at Churchill Downs over 6f. Capable of playing a major role. AL'S ROMEO (2) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Shea Stuart stable. Resumes after filling a minor placing at his latest outing three weeks ago at Prairie Meadows (Dirt). Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Among the leading chances. CIRCLE BACK JACK (8) kicked off this campaign with a win then was not as effective last time out when fifth over 6f at this track, beaten 14 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
