PENTATHLON (1) finished just a nose from the winner in second last start over 1m at Aqueduct (Dirt) after racing on the pace. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DAILY GRIND (9) is a 12-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) after he was well back on straightening. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. PRAIRIE DUNES (6) was prominent at the bend and finished third last time over 1m at Aqueduct (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 6 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. BOURBON'S FAULT (7) is a five-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
