VIVALDI (11) returns from a layoff of nine weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1m1f at Tampa Bay Downs. Looks a winning chance. MR BOBO (5) was unwanted in betting on debut last start but ran a strong race, finishing third and beaten one length over 1m at this track (Turf). Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. BITE AND STRIKE (3) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track (Turf). Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. COPP (6) was in contention on the bend and finished third last time over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 3 lengths. Has the class to get the prize.
