GRAYWING (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 6f at this track (Dirt). Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. ACOUSTIC AVE (5) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth over 6f at this track two weeks ago. Won't find this as tough so he is likely to play a big role. POP COYER (2) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 2 lengths over 5½f at Finger Lakes (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins and five minor placings from eight runs. Among the leading players again. EXCELLENT TIMING (6) last appeared two months ago over 6½f at this track when he finished sixth. This is his first run for the Jose N Fernandez stable.
