FURIO (7) finished 7 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the turn over 6½f at this track, an improvement on his ninth at Fairgrounds the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. DAPPER MOON (6) was well held in stakes class at his last run before a lay-off on March 22 when sixth over 1m1/2f at Listed level at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Brian Joseph Hernandez Jr stays on. Likely to feature. NICHOLAI (2) showed early speed from an outside draw last time and led for much of the way before fading to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Sure to be hard to catch. SHEPHERD (4) is a last-start winner four weeks ago, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 6f at this track. Major player.
