HOUSEBUILDER (3) was comfortably accounted for when third last start over 6f at Presque Isle Downs, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. That followed a good when resuming win at Presque Isle Downs. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Finds a suitable assignment and can rediscover winning form. MARKHAMIAN (4) proved too strong two runs ago at Thistledown. Not as effective last time out when sixth over 6f at Thistledown, beaten 16 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. HIJACK THE PARTY (2) ran a strong second over 5f at this track (Turf) two runs back then was below his best last time over 5½f when sixth, beaten 25 lengths. Looks better placed over this shorter trip so worth forgiving. GOTTAGETITBACK (8) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to just miss when second over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Form here at this distance is sound with four wins and five minor placings from 11 starts. Has to be respected.
