NUMBER ONE DUDE (2) resumed over 1m1f on dirt at this track and finished fourth then hit the frame last time when runner-up at this track over 1m two-and-a-half weeks ago. Leandro Goncalves who has scored on him six times retains the mount. Should be hard to stop. EAKLY (1) returns from a break of nine months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1m at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. TAP THE DOT (7) returns from a layoff of four months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1m at Sam Houston Park. Sure to make his presence felt. ROWDY RASCAL (8) returned from a lay-off four weeks ago when he was in contention on the turn before being beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth over 1m at this track. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish.
