HOUSEBUILDER (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when sixth over 6½f at Presque Isle Downs three weeks ago after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. AUGER (3) was never in contention when 17 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at Presque Isle Downs the run before. Has the class to take care of this field. CLASS ACTOR (4) got the prize two runs ago at Thistledown. Not as effective last time out when fifth over 6f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a major player. MEROKEE (6) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 1.75 lengths back in third over 6f at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic). Hard to beat in this suitable race.
