TREASURY (6) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic), beaten 11 lengths. Has the ability to produce a better result. CIELO AZUL (11) bounced back last start and scored by 4 lengths after being in contention on the corner over 6f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. MUNI MUNI SLEW (10) was in the money two starts back at Mountaineer Park but was unable to repeat the effort last time when ninth, beaten 9 lengths, at this track (Synthetic) over 5½f. Finds a suitable assignment and can bounce back. CHAMPION BY DESIGN (2) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only sixth over 6f at Penn National. Sound record at this distance with five wins and five minor placings from 15 runs and cannot be taken lightly.
