FULL SPECTRUM (1) missed the frame when resuming last start over 6f at this track (Dirt) but wasn't all that far from the winner. Usually performs well with that run under his belt. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. PETESOLDFASHIONED (9) has been in good form, scoring three back at Turf Paradise (Dirt) then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third over 6f at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. VDAYTOTHETENACIOUS (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fifth over 6f at Oaklawn Park a month ago. Finds a nice race and can take this out. SMOKIN JOE (5) is having his first run since winning by half a length three weeks ago over 6f at this track. Has transferred to the Jeffrey Skerrett stable over the break. Worth plenty of thought.
