VALORE (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 6f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. LUCKY PRINCE (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when sixth in a 7f contest at Laurel a week-and-a-half ago. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is sure to be prominent. MILO (3) resumes from a lay-off of 11 weeks. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 5½f at Laurel (Turf). Opened last prep with a minor placing at Laurel over 5½f. Rates highly and is a chance to break through. HOPPY TIME (8) finished second last start over 6f at this track (Dirt) to make it three minor placings from nine runs. Has a solid record here with three top-three finishes to his name. Among the fringe hopes.
