COPPER TAX (5) has returned in good shape this campaign. Opened with a third at Listed level at Aqueduct (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 1.75 lengths as favourite last time out over 1m1f in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Jg Torrealba scored on him last time and retains the ride. Likely to be in the finish again. SPEEDYNESS (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2 lengths away in third over 7f in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. FILM STAR (1) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1m in the G3 Kelso Handicap at Aqueduct (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Has the talent to produce a better result. HITTHEROADJAK (7) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 4 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
