(# 3) DARK INTRIGUE - Drops and shortens up for this. Blinkers are removed and runner is one of two win candidates in this race. Needs to break running.

(# 1) Honour Roll - Last was encouraging and it was his best ever. Goes third off a layoff for a top barn and drops for this. Very dangerous and the other "win" candidate.

(# 4) Funny Justice - Improved runs in last pair, and that coincided with the drop to this tag. Has some speed and expect he'll show it.

(# 7) Native Reason - Makes his second-lifetime start and first at this track after starting his career against better at Emerald Downs. Good barn, he may get into the exotics bottom.
