GETTIN PAID (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 6f at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HOPPIN JOHN (1) finished second at Oaklawn Park two runs back but was less effective last time over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), finishing 16 lengths back in eighth. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he will be hard to beat. BE LUCKY (4) is back from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a fifth, beaten 9 lengths, over 6f at Gulfstream Park. Must be respected. JUST BECAUSE (7) was beaten 5 lengths into fourth over 6f at this track three weeks ago. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
