VINO COURAGIO (8) is down in grade after finishing 9 lengths away in fifth over 1m1f at Keeneland (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago. That effort came after he finished third two starts ago at Hawthorne (Dirt). Ideally placed to return to form. KING FREUD (4) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m1/4f at Delaware Park, beaten only 1. 75 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. PERFORMANCE PLUS (6) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 5½f at Delaware Park. Strong top-three chance. DANGEROUS DRIVER (1) built on a nice third two starts back at Meadowlands (Turf) with success over 1m1/4f at Penn National (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by 1. 75 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
