STEP AHEAD (2) went forward last start over 1m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 3.5 lengths. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. ELEVATED CAUSEWAY (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth in a 1m1/2f contest at Gulfstream Park seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the class to take this out. FAST STUDY (3) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m1/4f at Penn National, beaten 6 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. DANGEROUS MIND (4) is a seven-start maiden who has been in the money four times. Could only manage fifth at the latest appearance over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has been in the frame at all two runs over this trip. Worth including.
