BALTASAR (6) continues to race well with a win in a at Delaware Park (Dirt) before finishing 1.5 lengths away in third last time over 6f at Delaware Park (Dirt). Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will play a major role. HUNTERS GHOST (4) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Prairie Meadows (Dirt), most recently beaten 1.75 lengths into second over 6f at Fairmount Park (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to take this out. PISTOL OR SHOTGUN (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 7f at this track, beaten 10 lengths into eighth. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. RICHY (3) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) over 5½f. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
