JOHNNY UP (6) has been about the money with two minor placings from three runs this campaign, the latest a solid second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. IN THE ARCH (13) scored an impressive win by 6 lengths when resuming from a lay-off last time out over 6f at this track (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement and this looks well within his grasp. DRISKILL (11) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win over 5½f at this track (Dirt) seven weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CAJUN HOPE (7) finished fourth last start over 5f at this track (Turf) after racing on the pace for much of the way. Cannot be underestimated.
