MASTER FREUD (3) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Dirt) over 7f, beaten 0.3 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and two minor placings from four starts. Leading contender. G T FIVE HUNDRED (6) was a most impressive winner last time over 6½f at Turfway Park (Synthetic), scoring by 8 lengths. Bold showing expected again. HEARD ON THESTREET (7) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in contention on the corner before finishing third over 6f at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. J J'S JOKER (2) finished fourth last time out over 1m1f at this track, beaten 11 lengths. This sets up nicely.
