DOCS LEGEND (5) is ready to break through after collecting his 5th minor placing in a row last time over 6f at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Has the pace to be thereabouts from the outset. Has the ability to figure prominently. LORD BARANOF (2) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then was always well out of his ground last start when 18 lengths away in tenth over 1m1/2f at Turfway Park. Has the ability to take care of this field. CAESAREA (3) is a five-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent outing over 6f at this track (Dirt). Solid top-three chance on his best figures. VANADIUM (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track, beaten 25 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
