FLIPPING FISH (1) filled yet another minor placing last time when 6 lengths adrift in third over 6f at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Drawn for a good trail just off the pace. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BOUDIN (5) made it two wins on the bounce last start when he scored by a nose over 1m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. SCRIMPER (2) was always well out of his ground when 8 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1m1/2f at Thistledown last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Thistledown the run before. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. SPEITFUL SAM (6) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when ninth over 6f at Churchill Downs, beaten 14 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
