(# 6) STAR PLAYER - Bit of a wide-open affair on view. This runner ran well at this distance and price tag in last - his first off a seven-week layoff. Did so in a large field while between horses most of the way. Should improve today.

(# 4) Sargeant Silver - Goes first off a seven-week layoff for trainer Helen Pitts. Ran well on the dirt at Ellis, then regressed in last on Turfway's polytrack. May improve quite a bit today.

# 9) Ride the Whiz - Tries a one-turn conventional dirt race today. Has shown early interest in last pair. With this draw, should be the early leader.

(# 7) Bishop Casey - Interesting longshot showed nothing in debut, but was bet somewhat in a "key" maiden event at Delaware Park. Now with the powerful Autrey barn, his last pair of works are very good.

(# 2) Ship's Piano - Logical runner, may be overbet a bit in here. Blinkers go on to try and get him more involved early. Has the look on him of being a hanger (to this point).
