WISH ME HOME (7) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1m at this track (Turf) at his latest appearance. Has a solid record here over this journey. Has a high cruising speed. Best form puts him right in this. KERNESS (8) finished third when resuming two runs back at this track (Dirt) then progressed nicely last time out to score by 2.25 lengths over 1m1/4f at Delaware Park (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. Set Weights ITZER (14) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) last time out. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Sure to be competitive. NAKED AND FAMOUS (4) returned from a lay-off four weeks ago when he was beaten 9 lengths into sixth over 7f at Colonial Downs. Strips fitter and can turn things around.
