RED ZONE RUNNER (8) is a three-year-old colt who is having his first run for the Hugo O Padilla barn. Hasn't raced since finishing in the placings at Listed level at Laurel (Dirt) nine weeks ago. Not seen at the trials but scored on debut to kick off the maiden campaign. Key chance who will go close. HIGHER SENSE (7) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 22 lengths, over 1m at Laurel. Ticks all the right boxes. STAR Set Weights EEPER (6) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1m1f at Aqueduct, clocking in 18 lengths from the winner. Key contender. FREEDOM'S ECHO (4) failed to threaten when fresh from a lay-off last time out, beaten 22 lengths into fourth over 1m in Listed grade at Aqueduct (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Not to be discounted.
