LUCKY LINUS (7) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then was always well out of his ground last start when 39 lengths away in eighth over 6f at this track. This doesn't look as hard so he can find the winners' list. JOEY TICKLES (9) started at 11/4 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 3 lengths at Laurel (Turf) over 5½f. Has the talent to find the winners' list. SUNSHINE JOHNNY (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Delaware Park. Not as effective last time out when fourth over 5½f at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. DOUBLE NICKEL (2) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Is going well this campaign, recording a win and six minor placings from 10 starts. Don't underestimate.
