BERRYVILLE BULLET (2) broke his maiden three starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten a neck into third over 6f at Harrah's Columbus Nebraska (Dirt). Expected to be in the finish again. EL SMOOCH (9) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7½f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. STARSTUDDED AFFAIR (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 6f at Evangeline Downs, beaten 14 lengths into sixth. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. NEVER OVER ME (3) was beaten 6 lengths into fourth in a 6f contest at this track last time out. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
