STRAIGHT LUCK (6) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 5f at Delta Downs. Looks to have an edge on most of these. RAGS ROYAL PRINZ (2) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Gillespie County Fairground six-and-a-half months ago. Sound record at this distance with three wins and three minor placings from nine runs and is among the leading chances. ROCKETS RED FLAIR (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6½f at this track, beaten 2. 75 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TAKE ACTION (8) returned from a lay-off seven weeks ago when he was beaten 2. 75 lengths into fourth over 5½f at Remington Park. Fitter and sure to run well.
