SPUNMAN (6) finished 5 lengths back in third over 7f at this track (Dirt) last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Has a good record here at this journey with three wins and five minor placings from 12 starts. A bold showing is likely. XCELLENT START (2) has registered two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Produced another good performance at his most recent run when second over 7f at this track (Dirt) after he was always up in the leading division. Looks well placed so expect another big run. NICO LUCKY (3) finished third at Laurel two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1m at Laurel (Dirt), finishing 10 lengths back in sixth. Has the ability to put the recent run behind him. HOT FUDGE SONDE (5) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 18 when beaten 15 lengths into sixth at this track (Dirt) over 7f. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
