JOE THE TAILOR (4) last raced when successful by 0. 3 lengths over 5½f at Hawthorne Turf (Turf) six months ago. Has a strong when resuming record, scoring on two occasions from four runs. Should be hard to stop. HILARIOUS AFFAIR (5) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fourth over 6½f at Turfway Park (Synthetic) after he got a long way back. Will strip fitter and is expected to run well. TWIRLING ROSES (3) wound up strongly but just failed to pick up the winner as favourite last start over 6f at Fairgrounds (Dirt). In the right race and is a winning hope. RACARINO (1) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Oaklawn Park but raced below expectations last time over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), finishing eighth and beaten 15 lengths. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.
