OUTKISSED (3) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 4½f at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. A FEW TOO MANY (4) was in the money two starts back at Horseshoe Indianapolis but was unable to repeat the effort last time when ninth, beaten 11 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 4½f. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. IMPERIAL KING (8) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2.5 lengths away in second over 7f at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CLAW (5) won at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to turn things around.
