STONEY (1) settled towards the back last start on debut then pushed forward and boxed on well to finish second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Will benefit from that experience and is sure to be right there at the finish. LOVE PACK (5) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 6½f at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Can open winning account this time. DERZ SMART (6) is a first-starter by Violence from Smart Win who has in turn produced the winner of a black type. A product of the strong juvenile stable of Brittany Russell. Sure to be competitive despite a difficult stall. RHYTHM 'N BLUES (4) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when eighth over 1m1/2f at this track three weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish.
