WALTER ME LAD (5) is back from a six months lay-off and he does run well when resuming, including a win over 6½f at this track at the start of last prep. Key runner while fresh. COMMANDER AT SEA (6) is a last-start winner over 5f at this track, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 0.8 lengths. Will prove very tough to beat. DANCIN' DEPUTY (3) ran below expectations when fresh from a lay-off at this track over 5½f last time, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. MAGIC TOMAHAWK (4) resumes from a lay-off of five months. Has filled a minor placing at both when resuming runs. Opened last prep with a third over 7f at this track. Bold showing expected.
