LOVE PACK (7) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 7f at Laurel (Dirt). Can make a winning return. GRAND ACADEMIC (3) is closing in on a win after two consecutive minor placings, the latest when third over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed and gets his chance. AMBRIDGE (6) missed the placings two runs back then was always well out of his ground last start when 14 lengths away in 11th over 1m1/2f at this track. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. AMERICAN VISION (5) finished third last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Worth plenty of thought.
