J J VALENTIN (5) was sent out favourite but could only finish fourth over 5½f at this track last time. Prior to that had been racing well, collecting two minor placings on end. Joshua J Radosevich stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Expecting a bold showing. LOYAL CLEMENT (4) settled well back last start and never threatened when 8 lengths from the winner in eighth over 6½f at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Has the ability to figure prominently. GAME MAKER (1) turned in a mediocre run last time out over 6f at this track (Dirt) after a nice win the start prior. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MR BRIZEL (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on February 14 when beaten 17 lengths into 11th at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over 1m. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is likely to play a big role.
