LUIGI'S SPIRIT (7) built on a nice third when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Pimlico (Dirt) with success as public elect over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. SHADY MUNNI (5) was safely held when third last time out over 1m1/2f at Monmouth Park, beaten 3.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. The engagement of Angel Cruz is noteworthy. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. FIGHTERTOWN (6) has been in good form, scoring three back at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third when he was always up in the leading division over 1m at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. GALATIANS (3) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m1f at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. In the right race and is sure to be prominent.
