BLUE OCEAN RAVE (5) is back at the races for the first time since June 28. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5½f at Sunland Park. Has ability and should be right in the finish. RED LEADER (6) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 6f at Emerald Downs (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHUDDER (1) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 5½f at Canterbury Park, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MALIBU SANGRIA (2) last appeared on June 28 when a good fourth over 4½f at Wyoming Downs (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Sure to make his presence felt.
