MAUI STRONG (4) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and stalked the lead before fading to finish fourth over 1m in the G3 Manila Stakes at this track (Turf). Likely to measure up. FORT NELSON (15) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Jumps from a wide draw but he is right in the mix again. STATES' RIGHTS (1) resumes. After filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at keeneland (turf) over 1m on april 12. Worth plenty of thought. VALUATION METRIC (7) is back from a lay-off of ten months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1m1/2f contest at Aqueduct by a nose. One of the key contenders.
