PRACTICAL SENSE (1) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 7f at Charles Town (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to take this out. STAVROS (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 8 lengths away in third over 1m1/4f at Parx (Dirt). Has the talent to figure prominently. MARCUS JUNIUS (6) looks close to a win after four minor placings in a row, most recently finishing a very close second over 1m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Has good early speed. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. UNXPECTED TIGER (5) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 12 lengths, after a win at Tampa Bay Downs at the previous outing. Expect a better run this time.
