Bayou shack (3) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 5½f at delaware park (dirt), finishing second and beaten half a length after being in the firing line on the turn.Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.Morning thoughts (7) has recorded six minor placings from nine runs this campaign.Continued the trend last start when runner-up over 6½f at fort erie.Has the class to take this out.Disco devil (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at delaware park, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the turn.Likely improver with strong prospects.Giuseppe (1) finished fourth over 6f at laurel (dirt) last time out following a determined win in a.Should be poised just off the lead.One of the better hopes.
