MY BUDDY DUANE (6) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 7f at this track (Dirt), finishing 11 lengths back in sixth. Finds a nice race and can make amends. CORONATION TIME (5) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 14 lengths when seventh in a 1m contest at Laurel two weeks ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. STROLLINGINTHEWIND (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Won't find this as tough so he can find the winners' list. KNOCKOUT WIN (7) turned in a fine effort to win by one length at this course and distance last time out to build on a solid when resuming effort. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
