SOVEREIGNS JOY (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 10 lengths into seventh. Finds a nice race and can get the job done. BETTERA (8) went forward from the low draw last time before fading to finish fourth over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Expected to be in this for a long way. D DAY REUNION (3) proved too strong two runs ago at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1m at Turfway Park, beaten 8 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to bounce back to form. SKALKAHO (12) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at this track but couldn't back it up last start when ninth, beaten 23 lengths, over 7½f at this track (Turf). Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
