(# 12) RIGHTEOUS BROTHER - Good initial race when he showed speed before finishing third. Tried a stakes in second start and was almost slammed into the rail around the far turn. Steve Asmussen runner has had five months to grow and mature. Should due better today.

(# 9) War Veteran - Ran off at Louisiana Downs on Super Derby day., but still was allowed to start. Ran well showing speed before tiring to run third. Working well for start number two, he is a dangerous runner.

(# 5) Teixiera - Excellent first out barn(W.Bret Calhoun) is 19% with first-timers. Excellent works on view and trainer goes to one of his main-men, Eddie Martin. They are 26% when teamed together. Would key the top three in supers and use the other two selections underneath.

(# 11) Tensas Why Gin - Makes initial start after training well at Turfway Park. Appeared ready to run there, but as a Louisiana bred he awaited this more lucrative spot.

(# 10) Halo Leestown - Just missed in well-bet debut at Delta Downs. Race was in late October, and he has worked at Evangeline and here since that race.
