(# 6) SPEEDBALL HOWIE - Speed has been king here over the past two weeks when the track has been fast. This colt was beaten to the top in last by a runner on the rail. Stayed close and tried to close the gap, but just couldn't make any headway. May be his turn to play catch-me-if-you-can.

(# 3) Trick Meeting - Makes his second start for Mike Hushion after a troubled trip in last. Colt is capable against these and can finish strongly. Serious challenger to the top pick.

(# 5) Dodgem - Fair effort in first outing since late May. Ran well over this surface last winter and may move forward off the return race.

(# 4) Huge City - Has his problems as he continually need to go in for freshenings. May give the top pick an early tussle.
