Silvano's Song should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. Very competitive. WINTER EMERALDS (4) was an easy winner two back then not far away in open grade last time. Meets the winner better at the weights and worth another chance. LAGUNA VERDE (3) resumed with a good placing over a mile and has won second-up. Leading rider goes aboard and has two wins already on the gelding. GREEN MANDARIN (2) was a strong winner in higher grade last time and beat some of these. Has more weight this time and a much tougher draw to overcome. But going well and worth following up. ONE SCOTCH (7) is close to a win and has placed 2/2 course and distance. Must be respected.
