TIGHTROPE (5) returns from a lay-off of nine weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished fourth at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) over 5½f when when resuming last time in work. Will prove tough to beat. STAR OF KODIAK (2) was safely held when sixth last start over 6f at Fairmount Park, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the corner. That followed a good when resuming win at this track. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. SIMPLE LOGIC (7) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 14 lengths into fifth. Yet to miss the placings from seven starts at this circuit. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is sure to be prominent. DRAGON DREW (1) turned in a fair effort at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over 6½f at his last run 12 weeks ago, finishing sixth and beaten 2.75 lengths. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins and two placings. Sure to make his presence felt.
