COUNTRY BUMPKIN (5) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 3. 5 lengths when fifth in a 5½f contest at Laurel Turf four weeks ago after being prominent at the turn. Faces an easier assignment so he will be hard to beat. FAROOQ (3) has been in the money three times including when resuming last start on May 23 when second over 5½f at Delaware Park (Dirt). Has recorded two top-three finishes from five runs at this venue. A maiden win looks imminent. SILVER SABER (1) is a three-start maiden who finished ninth at his most recent outing over 1m1/2f at Laurel Turf (Turf) after he got a long way back in the run. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. Set Weights EET SPY (2) returns after three months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 6f at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
