Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Chiaro. ALLUSION (2) makes his stable debut for Garret Lynch and is a noted fresh performer. Shoulders a solid record over this trip and makes good appeal. Will just need a touch of luck from the draw. BLESS THE FLEET (1) is a 10-year-old returning off a long 320 days. His form hardly impresses but he's jumped out well in readiness and his only win came at this track, placing at his only other run here. Don't dismiss easily. COLORADO CRUZ (3) strikes a more suitable assignment and comes into calculations. LATIN LYRIC (5) capable of getting into the money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Allusion.
