MIGRATORY (1) finished fifth when resuming at Laurel two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 5½f at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. TAPPING OUT A TUNE (6) showed good early pace last time and battled on gamely to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 5f at this track (Synthetic). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. SCALLYWAG (10) started at 5/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 7f after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. KNOCKANARA (4) produced another moderate effort last start when 9 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1m at Tampa Bay Downs. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
