RANDELLO (6) last appeared two weeks ago over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Manuel Vlaun stable. Key runner who will be tough to beat. VAIL OF HONOR (1) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 1609m at Mahoning Valley. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. LAZARUS PROJECT (2) scored by 0.3 lengths two back at this track (Dirt) then filled a placing last time at this track (Dirt). Will appreciate the drop in the weights. Luis A Gonzalez who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Expected to measure up. HPNOTIQ RHYTHM (5) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1609m at Belterra Park, beaten 5 lengths, after a win at Belterra Park at the previous outing. Worth another chance.
