FEDERAL OFFENSE (7) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1m at this track (Dirt). Looks a solid top-three prospect. NEVER COAST (8) resumes after a break of eight months. Trying to repeat his debut win over 1m1f at Pimlico to kick off last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. WEST STAR (2) broke through for his maiden win over 6f at this track (Dirt) last time. Shaping up nicely and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. SHOULDHAVEBEENGONE (1) ran a better race last start, finishing 6 lengths away in fourth over 1m at this track. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
