HEARTFULLOFSTARS (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 6f at Laurel (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Has the class to build on that encouraging effort last start. SAINTHOODFORBRIAN (6) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 6 lengths when fourth in a 6f contest at this track a month ago after being in contention on the turn. Has the class to figure prominently. SUNSET TOWN (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 11 lengths when sixth over 1m1/4f at this track two weeks ago. Has the class to figure prominently. SHADOW BOX (4) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 9 lengths back in fourth over 6f at Parx (Dirt). Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
