TWO EAGLES RIVER (3) started at 7/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 7½f. Has the class to figure prominently. BLACK POWDER (8) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was in the firing line all the way over 7f at Keeneland (Dirt). Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. PROPRIETARY TRADE (7) was safely held when fifth last time out over 6f at Keeneland, beaten 8 lengths. That followed a win at Saratoga at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. REFUAH (2) opened this prep with a win then a fair effort last time out when third over 7f at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. One of the main hopes.
