BOX N BEN (6) was quickly into stride over 6½f at Timonium (Dirt) last time and dug deep to score by 2 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. PROM KNIGHT (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 6f at Penn National (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. BOLD HONOR (2) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 22 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 6f at Delaware Park, beaten 15 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. DREAM RIVER (3) ran well below his best last time over 6½f at Timonium (Dirt), beaten 10 lengths into eighth at 2/1. Can atone.
