SAND DEVIL (5) Rattled home nicely into 2nd last run around here and good career start. Been in the placegetters each attempt this preparation. Have to respect the recent stable form. Worth consideration. GRANDE (7) Finished well when winning last time at Gulfstream Park. Has not missed this preparation with 2 wins from as many starts. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Respect against this field. STATESMAN (11) Picked up nicely to win last run at Tampa Bay Downs and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Flawless this preparation with 2 wins from 2 runs. Among better hopes. PASSION RULES (8) Was eating up the ground late to win last run at Oaklawn Park and honest performer putting a tidy record together. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race.
