BEN FRANKLIN (5) was prominent from the outset when second over 6f at this track (Dirt) last time out. Yet to win here at this trip but has never missed the frame from three starts. Sure to give a brave sight again. COLONEL CALIENTE (3) did a great job to score by 2. 75 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to cope. SKYLER (7) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0. 8 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four runs. Should be in the finish. SPEECHLESS (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 43 lengths away in 12th over 1m1/2f at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
