TO WIN: COMMANDER MAXIMUS Ran well enough to win when finishing 2nd under these conditions in his last two. He had a next out winner behind him on both occasions and is in improving form. In his most recent start he rated just off the leader, moved to challenge through a fast 3rd quarter and held on for the place. gelding has been "brand new" since he was introduced to Polytrack and lands a great spot to clear this condition. Greg Schaefer, who replaces the injured Perry Ouzts, should have him on or near the lead throughout.
