HAPPYCASTLE (8) was only a nose from the winner in second last time out in a small field over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. LOWELLS GIFT (4) is a three-year-old gelding by Caracaro out of Factress on debut for the Jeff Fletcher stable. Looks set for a bright start. Watch for positive market leads. DREAM POLICE (2) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. ROLLIN FOR REAL (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Mahoning Valley, beaten 3. 5 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
