INSIDE STUNT (6) has three wins and one placing from four outings this campaign. Scored last start by 3 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 5½f after being handy all the way. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. REAL NAUGHTY (4) hit the frame two starts ago at Thistledown but ran below par last time when 12th and beaten 25 lengths over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Jose A Bracho gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is likely to play a big role. GRAN ANDREWS (1) scored last start at Charles Town (Dirt) to make it 12 wins and five placings from 20 starts this campaign. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Should be involved in the finish. HOLY SAINT (2) has been kept fresh since finishing third over 5½f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) six weeks ago. Was a determined winner when fresh from a lay-off two runs back. Has a solid record at this journey with six wins from 19 starts and deserves respect.
