VERBAL (7) resumes from a lay-off of four months and is having his first outing under new trainer Leslie F Young. Finished seventh at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over 1m at the opening run last time in work. Key runner while fresh. RICCIO (11) hasn't raced since finishing sixth over 1m1/2f at Laurel (Dirt) on April 5 and has since switched trainers. Good fresh performer with a win and three minor placings from five runs. Among the winning hopes. PHILIP MY DEAR (1) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 2m2f at this track (Turf), beaten 25 lengths when in the market. Best form augers well for this. IN EFFECT (4) is ready to break through after collecting his 4th minor placing in a row last time over 2m2f at this track (Turf). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
