PUDGE BOY PALACE (1) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1m1/2f at Laurel (Dirt). Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. SMALL FIELD (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 1m1/2f at Colonial Downs. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. DEVIL'S HARVEST (8) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1m1/2f at Monmouth Park (Turf) when he was handy all the way. Has the class to take care of this field. ALVY (10) finished second over 1m1/4f at Penn National (Dirt) last time out following a determined win in a. Can bounce back to winning form.
