TIZ LORD (9) got well back over 1m1/4f at Parx (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 8 lengths away in sixth. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. STARSHIP TANGO (1) was only 0.3 lengths from the winner in second last time out in a small field over 6f at Finger Lakes (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Leading contender. DIAMOND MESSA (4) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. NO PROBLEM JOE (6) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 7f at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths at long odds. Has ability and shapes as a top-three chance.
