TAPSTICK (3) is a 10-start maiden who wasn't far away last time when second over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic) on March 19. Should be poised just off the lead. Expected to be in the finish. CONN SMYTHE (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 6 lengths away in eighth over 1m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race. ANIMATED (8) has been in the placings five times from 15 outings. Last start finished fifth over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic). Has a solid record here with three top-three finishes to his name. Expected to measure up. FROSTED PUNK (2) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 4 lengths from the winner in third over 1m1/4f at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.
