HEY BOOTS (2) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. EXCELLENT TIMING (9) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 6f at Laurel, finishing 7 lengths from the winner. Likely to feature. PURE PANIC (6) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 14 lengths over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. PRIORITY LANE (5) finished second at Mahoning Valley two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 6½f at this track (Dirt), finishing 7 lengths back in sixth. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
