CLASSIC JOKE (5) found plenty to salute by 3 lengths three runs back at this track (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. GRAN ANDREWS (6) scored by 0.8 lengths last start at this track (Dirt) over 7f after he was prominent at the turn. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring 11 times from 19 starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expected to be in the finish. HAMMER (4) steps up in trip after he was well held last time in sixth over 6f at Delaware Park (Dirt). Record at this track is strong. Expected to run well. JUNGLE BEAST (3) last appeared five weeks ago over 6f at Colonial Downs when he finished third. This is his first run for the Javier Contreras stable.
