ANCIENT WORLD (1) resumes after a break of ten months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 6f at Fairgrounds. Looks set to run well. TAPWRITS TEMPER (10) finished fourth two runs back at Aqueduct (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 6 lengths after being prominent at the bend over 7f at Aqueduct (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. THREE LITTLE BIRDS (5) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start when he made late ground but found a couple better over 6f at Aqueduct, beaten 5. 5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can take the next step and salute. LIBERTY RISING (2) was beaten 8 lengths into fourth over 6f at this track three weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
