IT'S HAMMERTIME (10) is yet to taste defeat in two starts, the latest when resuming from a lay-off over 6f in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Far too good last time and is right in contention again. TONY ECLIPSE (2) recorded a strong maiden win over 1m at Laurel (Dirt) last time, getting there by 8 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Nicely drawn and he cannot be discounted. BABY DUKES (4) finished sixth two runs back in the G3 Sanford Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths after being prominent at the corner over 6f at this track (Dirt). It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. RAMIEL (3) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 0.8 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Jamie Rodriguez who was on board last start. Harder task ahead this time but can measure up.
