CLAPPING (4) missed the placings when resuming at Turfway Park two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MALIBU KNIGHT (2) is returning from a lay-off of ten weeks. Finished eighth at Penn National (Dirt) over 6f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Ronney W Brown. Key runner fresh from a break. PICO PLAT (5) was well in commission last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt) when seventh, beaten 18 lengths. Arnaldo Bocachica stays on. Expected to measure up. A L 'S BOY (1) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last time over 6½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
