SARGENT KOBE (4) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track (Dirt) over the same trip. Finds the right race this time and can bounce back. QUALIFLY (5) returns from a break of seven months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a sixth over 6½f at this track. Goes well when fresh including four wins. One of the leading players. GREAT DAYS AHEAD (13) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when 11th, beaten 15 lengths, over 6f at Laurel (Dirt). Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. KENNY HAD A NOTION (2) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start over 7f at this track (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. In the right race and is worth serious consideration.
