SYNONYM (7) was prominent on the corner and battled on well to finish third last start over 7f at Laurel (Dirt), beaten 0.2 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. MARTINI MARTIN (10) has struggled to recapture his best form in two runs, the latest when fifth over 1m1/4f at Parx (Dirt). Tricky draw to overcome but expect to do much better. ALWAYS GAMBLING (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.5 lengths when fourth over 1m1/4f at this track three weeks ago after being in contention on the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RHUMJAR (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/2f at Laurel, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Nicely placed to find some form.
