GIANLUCA BE LUCKY (2) was a first time out placegetter on dirt two runs back, finishing third over 6f at this track. Disappointed last start on turf when unplaced over 5½f at Monmouth Park Turf. Terrific chance to return to form back on the dirt. RE MARKABLY (5) showed little early speed last start then lengthened in good style in the straight to finish third at Delaware Park (Dirt) over this journey. Sound record at this distance with two wins and five minor placings from eight runs and looks a top chance. I'M A GAMBLER (6) sat on the pace when fresh from a lay-off last start but faded to be beaten 6 lengths when second over 5½f at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Nice class drop this time. Winning claims on best figures. FOLLOW THE FELLOW (3) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 4 lengths at Penn National (Dirt) over 6f. Form at this distance is strong with three wins from six starts and is among the main hopes.
