NORMANDY HERO (7) showed early speed from an outside draw last time to lead throughout and score by a nose over 5½f at Laurel (Turf). Should measure up again. HE'S IN CHARGE (5) met with solid support last start over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) when second, beaten 2. 5 lengths. Right at home over this distance, with 13 wins and 14 minor placings from 33 runs and is expected to be in the finish. FORE HARP (6) finished 9 lengths from the winner in eighth on turf at Aqueduct two starts back. Missed the frame in another run on turf last time at Laurel over 5½f when 5 lengths adrift in sixth. Strong contender back on the dirt. Worth another chance. GRAHMALAMADINGDONG (4) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), finishing 8 lengths back in seventh. Has his share of ability and can do a lot better.
