ABADIN (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 7f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to take this out. HEARD ON THESTREET (3) built on a nice second two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 6½f at this track (Dirt) six weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. MASTER OF ARMS (6) was well in commission when resuming last start over 6f at this track (Dirt) but could only manage fourth, although only 2.5 lengths from the winner. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be competitive. HATCH (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Likely improver with strong prospects.
