HABERDASHERY (5) was beaten for early speed and didn't come into contention when a disappointing ninth over 5½f at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) most recently. Won't find this as tough so he is set to turn things around. BAILAMOS (4) has been in great form recently, the latest effort a dominant win by 4.5 lengths over 6f at Delaware Park (Dirt). Winning rider John Hiraldo retains the mount. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. RUSSIAN HAMMER (3) got well back over 6f at Laurel (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 6 lengths away in eighth. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MR PENNY PINCHER (1) failed to threaten when fresh from a lay-off last time out, beaten 7 lengths into eighth over 5f at Meadowlands (Turf). Expected to do far better this time.
