SASSY LAD (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish half a length away in third over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. RAPID RESPONSE (2) went forward when resuming last start and proved too strong, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can take this out. INTER MIAMI (6) returns from a break of nine weeks. Strung together two wins before finishing fifth at the last run of the prep at this track (Dirt). Has a solid when resuming record. Sure to be competitive. RIBBONS AND MEDALS (4) found plenty to get the prize by 3 lengths three runs back at Finger Lakes (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Don't underestimate.
