RIVER OF BABYLON (1) settled well back and turned in a mediocre run last time out over 6½f at this track after a nice win the start prior. Nicely placed to bounce back. HARDWARE GAP (9) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fourth in a 5f contest at this track three weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. GUS'S GAMBLE (8) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 6½f at this track, finishing 14 lengths back in sixth. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. STREET SERENADE (5) finished a 5.5 lengths third on dirt at this track in a then followed up with another minor placing on dirt at this track over 6½f two weeks ago. Amanda Vandermeersch who has two wins when partnering stays on. Not to be discounted.
