COLONEL VARGO (4) made it three wins in a row last time out when he scored by half a length over 6f at Aqueduct (Dirt). Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to play a big role. PIT STOP MAN (1) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 2.25 lengths away in fourth last time out over 4½f at Charles Town three-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Goes well at this journey with four wins from 13 starts and is among the leading chances. NOTTOWAY (6) got home by 5 lengths last time out over 7f at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the frame in six starts over this course and distance. Jamie Rodriguez who has five wins when partnering stays on. Has winning claims on best figures. BIG ROWDY DAN (3) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 6f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
