COUNT DRACULA (8) raced below his best last time when 11th over 1m at Turfway Park (Synthetic), beaten 12 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he will be hard to beat. CAROOM (10) returns from a lay-off of 12 weeks and did win when resuming last time in work over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Key runner. TRANSACTIONAL (7) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing seventh over 1m1/2f at Aqueduct (Turf) 12 weeks ago. Lines up. For the first time for trainer scott gelner. Comes here with definite top-three claims. CAT ON TIME (4) went forward over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) last time but found one better. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on three occasions from nine starts. Deserves respect on his best figures.
