Set Weights EET SODDY J (7) ran seventh at his latest appearance over 6f at Presque Isle Downs, clocking in 5.5 lengths from the winner. Looks to have an edge on most of these. SQUINTS (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 10 lengths away in second over 6f at Delaware Park (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Steps up a level but he is capable of running a bold race. PRADO ROAD (5) did little and finished 8 lengths from the winner in fifth over 6f at Pimlico last start after being in contention on the corner, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Sheldon Russell gets the best out of this three-year-old gelding. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. IRISH HERO (4) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when second over 5½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. In the mix.
