LOU'S BIRTHDAY (5) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. UP IN FLAMES (2) resumes from a lay-off of ten weeks. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 5f at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed and expected to go well. ANTIETAM (1) stepped out on his debut over 6f at Saratoga (Dirt) six weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 16 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature. TONY ECLIPSE (3) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fifth at Colonial Downs (Turf) over 1m, beaten 9 lengths. Looks well placed here and has to be respected.
