ALL THE HARDWAYS (7) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 6 lengths when fourth in a 6f contest at Laurel three-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. OZONE (6) is back from a three-and-a-half months lay-off and he does run well when resuming, including a win over 7f at this track at the start of last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. IM THE DIRECTOR (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0. 3 lengths over 7f at this track (Dirt). That continued the very strong form this campaign, with six wins from 11 runs. Should be in the finish. NOLA BOSS (4) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten a nose into second over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
