RAPTURE BAY (2) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1m1/2f at Monmouth Park (Turf), finishing second and beaten 0.3 lengths. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. MISSION MIKE (8) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 7½f at this track (Turf). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he looks sure to be in the mix. SIR MENDEL (9) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 16 lengths away in third over 1m1/4f at Parx (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. HOMER JONES (6) was beaten 0.7 lengths into fourth in a 1m contest at Laurel at his latest appearance. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
