Course regular Rock Canyon would have claims if taking part but was due to run here yesterday. Gold Beau won easily over track and trip last week and should figure again despite a penalty, but BARON RUN is just preferred. A dual course and distance winner, Karl Burke's charge looked more like his old self when a close-up third here last time and gets the nod. Mandalay King is yet another course winner but he failed to figure in better company on his latest start while Kirtling Belle and Chookie's Lass are less exposed than most.
