BRAVE BEAR (6) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win over 1m at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago, getting home by 1. 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. AMEDEUS MUSIC (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1m at Parx after being in contention on the bend. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. HOODLUM (7) ran below expectations last time at Delaware Park (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths starting at 13/2. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. WE READY (1) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1m at Penn National, beaten 4 lengths, after a win at Penn National at the previous outing. Worth another chance.
