VAGABOND SHOES (5) is a four-year-old entire who is having his first run for the Pavel Matejka stable. Most recently finished in the placings at Del Mar (Dirt) before going for a break. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Can make a winning return. EL CUERVO FELIS (6) started at 5/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) over 5½f after being in contention on the corner. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ISOCLINE (7) was never in contention when resuming last start over 6f at this track (Synthetic), finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths. Fitter and with the blinkers added is sure to be competitive. WRITEITONTHEICE (3) is back from a lay-off of seven months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 6½f at Belterra Park (Dirt). Has to be respected.
