WARHEART (8) back from a brief lay-off and tackles a synthetic track for the first time. Opened last prep with a second at Colonial Downs (Turf) over 5½f. Well placed in this easier race. Sure to be there at the finish. } touchy (1) is a progressive three-year-old colt who resumes from a break of ten weeks, his last appearance being a win over 6½f at keeneland (dirt) at his only run of that campaign. Goes well when fresh including a win and one minor placings. Winning rider Joel Rosario stays aboard. Well placed and should be in the finish. STAR'S IMAGE (2) scored last start at Fairgrounds (Turf) to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Will give backers a great sight. RELATOR (7) raced on the pace over 5½f at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) last time and went on to win by 1.5 lengths. Can sneak into the finish again.
