BOTTLE CAPS (9) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 5½f at Arapahoe Park (Dirt). Well placed and happy to have him on top. SPENARD (3) wasn't far away on debut last start over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), finishing second and beaten half a length. Has ability and looks sure to measure up. ITSMYBIRTHDAY (5) is facing the starter for the first time. By Vekoma and is out of the Robertino Diodoro stable. Respect any positive move in betting. REBOSO (2) is back after a break of eight months. At the last run before the layoff he finished eighth over 5f in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
