SHY DA RUNNER (1) returns after a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1m1/2f at Monmouth Park Turf. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. One of the genuine hopes in the race. GOOSE HUNTER (6) finished off last campaign with a fourth over 6½f at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) on December 13 and has since switched yards. Generally runs well when fresh with two wins and one minor placings from five runs. Among the winning hopes. LIEUTENANT STAN (2) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just three wins from 38 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 6f at Penn National. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. LEONARD'S LEGACY (5) comes here off a break of seven months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6f at this track. One to consider.
