ELUSIVE D'ORO (3) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 6f at this track (Dirt) when beaten 5 lengths. Today might be his day. BANG A RANG (13) returns from a layoff of 12 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6½f at this track. Comes here with definite claims. CRABCAKES N BEER (8) hit the frame two starts ago at Delaware Park but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 13 lengths over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BATI KING (7) finished seventh over 5½f at Colonial Downs (Turf) at his most recent appearance on August 21. Has found the right race and is worth including.
