SILVER SLUGGER (7) ran below expectations last time at Saratoga (Dirt) over 7f, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will play a major role. X Y PRIME (6) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 7f at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt), scoring by one length. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. GROUCH (8) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when sixth, beaten 9 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt) after he got a long way back. Will strip fitter and shapes as a leading player. LEVEE WAS DRY (4) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it three wins from five starts this campaign. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Don't underestimate.
