INDEPENDENT PAUL (9) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at Aqueduct, beaten 4.5 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. DANCE MAN (8) returned from a lay-off six-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 5½f at Del Mar. Facing a tougher assignment but he is fitter and good enough to feature. CORREDOR (5) broke through for his maiden win over 7f at Remington Park (Dirt) last time. Shaping up nicely and he should be in the finish again. THANKS FRANK (6) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when he was beaten 10 lengths into fourth over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs. Fitter and sure to run well.
