UTAMARO (1) is returning from a lay-off of eight months. Finished tenth at Belmont Park (Turf) over 7f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Michael S Ferraro. Expecting a seamless transition. PROFITABILITY (6) started at 13/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. MACDONOUGH (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 5½f. Expected to run well again. MORTGAGE RATE (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when seventh over 6f at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
