HONEY'S TO BLAME (12) is back after a break of three months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1m1/2f at Aqueduct (Turf). Well placed and happy to have him on top. MAKESHIFT'S LEGACY (8) ran a much better race at his second outing last start to finish second over 6f at Remington Park after being in the firing line on the turn. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. CATTLE BARON (4) debuted six weeks ago when he finished fourth over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up. SIOUX EMPIRE (9) was in contention on the turn and finished third last time over 1m at Delaware Park (Dirt), beaten 2. 25 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge.
