PLAY CHICKEN (6) started at 15/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths at Turf Paradise (Dirt) over 5½f. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. PHILBIN ROAD (2) was a winner over 5f at Turf Paradise (Dirt) last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by 1.3 lengths. Will prove tough to hold out again. ASTRAL WEEKS (5) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Juan Carlos Gotera stable. Finished off last campaign with a eighth at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) four months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Definite winning chance. RESVALON (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Mahoning Valley, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
