WILLTORUN (6) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but was beaten 5 lengths into fifth over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has a decent second up record. Ready to find best form. TALONS TIME (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 5½f at this track, beaten 11 lengths into eighth. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. PRINCIP (5) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6f at Churchill Downs. Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with two minor placings from four tries. Can make his presence felt. JERRY'S EIGHTY (2) turned in a nice run last time to finish second over 5½f at this track. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.
