STAVROS (6) is returning from a lay-off of three months. Finished sixth at Parx (Dirt) over 5½f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Edward Clouston. Key runner while fresh. OUTGUNNED (4) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when fourth over 5½f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Has the ability to return to the winner's list. SERGEANT COUNTZLER (10) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at Thistledown (Dirt) with success as public elect over 5f at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago, getting home by half a length after being in contention on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SPERANZAS WILL (3) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Should give backers a sight.
