VALYRIAN SKY (5) returns from a layoff of three months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6f at Woodbine. Has found a suitable race. STORMQUIST (1) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the corner at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 2.5 lengths starting at 7/2. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. WARRIOR TED (7) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. JMR SPEEDY ESCAPE (2) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Woodbine, finishing second and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 6½f. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
