Tiz Approved was very green at Oaklawn Park in February but much more the finished article here in March when making all and winning by nine lengths. It would be no surprise to see a follow up from stall one but Highwaytwentyseven also won here in March, though didn’t quite reproduce that effort on a return visit. Sindarius is only 1-16 but probably ran better than expected when third two weeks ago, though that was over a mile. RED NATION got involved in early skirmishing over 5f here last time and was eased. He’d showed a good attitude when scoring over track and trip at the start of the year and this is a slight drop in grade.
