NEPOTISM (5) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 1m1/2f at Laurel, beaten 10 lengths. That followed a win at Mahoning Valley at the previous outing. Has the ability to take this out. PYEONG CHANG (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at this track, beaten 9 lengths into fifth. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CURLIN'S THRILL (7) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1m1/2f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. URBAN BANDIT (1) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6½f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
