(# 3) TOUCH MY ABS - Drops into a claimer and tries Polytrack for the first time. Lone run was at Fairplex over conventional dirt. Has four works since the debut run, all much better than average, and all on this surface. Trainer Craig Dollase adds Lasix, a move that he has won with three of his last four with. He has also excelled on artificial surfaces.

(# 14) Zoomin Zabel - One of a pair from Mike Harrington and they will race uncoupled. Has proven competitive in most starts, and has enough speed to not let the outside post hurt him.

(# 13) Merge the Distance - Baffert runner takes the plunge after a debut against straight maidens. Took no money in the initial run, and ran accordingly. Several sharp drills in tow, and a big turnaround would be no surprise.

(# 1) Swiss E - The second of the Harrington pair has some speed and has nibbled several times. Draw is not advantageous on poly-surfaces.

(# 10) Latin Officer - Well bet in first pair, he has shown erratic form in those two runs. Field is weak, and he could factor at a good price today.
