PLAY FREE BIRD (2) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when sixth, beaten 6 lengths, over 7f at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. SUMITUP (3) sat on the pace last start until tiring to finish fourth, beaten 5. 5 lengths, over 5½f at this circuit. Better than the last run and will take running down. UNKNOWN CALLER (1) turned in an eye-catching run over 5½f at this track last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Has been in the top three at all five starts here, including two wins. One of the contenders. HIGHLANDER HONEY (7) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 6f at North Dakota Horse Park (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Sure to be thereabouts.
