PATRIOT SPIRIT (7) is having his first run since May 3. Has a strong record when fresh with two wins from three runs, the most recent over 6½f at this track at the start of last prep. Best fresh figures put him right in this. CELTIC CONTENDER (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 6f in Listed grade at Laurel (Dirt). This doesn't look as hard so he is all set to build on that latest effort. INVEIGLED (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.1 lengths from the winner in second over 1m1/2f at Laurel after being in contention on the turn. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. BOUNCER (2) finished second when resuming two runs back at Laurel (Dirt) then progressed nicely last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 6f at Laurel (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
