SILVER QUARTERS (5) reunites with Jareth Loveberry after scoring with ease over 1m1/4f at Hawthorne (Dirt) last time. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expected to be in the finish. VERRAZANO FIRST (7) resumed over 5f at Fairmount Park (Dirt) last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by one length. Will be better for that latest run and is expected to feature in the finish. WICKED SUPRISE (2) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations when resuming at Hawthorne (Dirt), finishing eighth and beaten 58 lengths over 1m1/4f. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. The engagement of Frank Reyes is a positive move. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. VITALE (3) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m1/4f at Hawthorne (Dirt), beaten 13 lengths. In the right race and is a key runner.
