F T W SLAM (9) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 6½f at Evangeline Downs. Ideally placed to score while fresh. LOUISIANA JESS (7) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 4 lengths back in second over 6½f at Delta Downs (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. AVERY'S GEM (8) wasn't far away when resuming last start when fourth over 5f at Delta Downs (Dirt). May appreciate the longer journey with that run under the belt. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One of the main contenders. POP'S PEPPYSTEPER (2) caught the eye last start over 5f at Delta Downs (Dirt), coming from well back to finish half a length from the winner in second. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and two minor placings from four starts. Best figures stack up nicely.
