BROTHER RICE (1) is back from a lay-off of 11 weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 6f at Penn National (Dirt). Comes to hand quickly so a bold showing is expected. TRIGGER POINT (2) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 6f at this track (Dirt) when beaten 2. 25 lengths. L A Batista has registered two minor placings when on board. Bold showing expected. RAMSEY (4) is a distance specialist who turned things around last start and scored by 2. 25 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. DON'T STOP (3) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track (Dirt) then placing twice in a row, most recently when third over 6f at this track (Dirt). Likely to be about the money again.
