SUNDAY SPIRIT (3) started at 7/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1m after being in the firing line on the bend. Won't find this as tough so he will be hard to beat. BROTHER RICE (1) is a four-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 7½f after being prominent at the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HEZMORETHANREADY (6) finished a 31 length tenth on dirt at Tampa Bay Downs in a. Switched to turf last time at Tampa Bay Downs over 1m1/2f and again missed the frame, finishing a 6 length sixth. Worth following up back on dirt. GOLDEN BUCK (4) finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in sixth at his most recent outing over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
