HANDSOME HAROLD (9) was far too good when resuming last start when he scored by 8 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Will be better for that latest run and he looks hard to stop again. NERVY (7) is back from a lay-off of five-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 5½f at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Comes here with definite claims. NATIVE STAR (8) was a placegetter on dirt over 6f at this track in a but missed the frame on turf over 1m at this track last time. Strong contender back on the dirt. CATALINA DAY (10) turned things around last start and landed the prize by half a length over 5f at Delta Downs (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
