PALLINO (3) travelled in a rearwards position and didn't fire over 5½f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. ALL JOKES ASIDE (6) ran well below his best last time over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt), beaten 2. 5 lengths into fourth at 2/1. Well placed and can bounce back. BUTTON BOX (4) returns from a lay-off of nine months and it is noteworthy that he has scored at his past two when resuming appearances, last prep over 5f at this track. Has found a suitable race to kick off the campaign. TAP EM (1) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 1m at this track (Turf), beaten 6 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
