UNIVERSAL SOUND (6) has changed stables since finishing second over 6½f at Turfway Park (Synthetic) five months ago. Goes well when fresh with a win and three minor placings from five starts. Ready for a bold showing. KINGSCLIFF (2) missed the frame when resuming last start over 7f at this track (Dirt) but wasn't all that far from the winner. Usually performs well with that run under his belt. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. HEROIC ACT (1) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 1. 5 lengths over 5½f at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. BEAUDREAUX (3) turned in a fine effort to score by 1. 5 lengths at this course and distance when when resuming from a break last start. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
