LONG POND (7) turned in a solid when resuming effort at this track then wasn't beaten all that far last time when sixth at this track over 6½f. Finds the right race this time and can bounce back. FOUR ACES HIGH (8) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth over 6f at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. BLUE MAX (3) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success over 6½f at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success. COURAGEOUS COPPER (1) finished sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, when tackling a turf track for the first time last start at this track over 5f. Open to improvement. Worth plenty of thought.
