D HOPPER (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 6f at Laurel, beaten 17 lengths. Has raced four times here and has never missed the frame. Faces an easier assignment so he can make amends. MALIBU KNIGHT (4) met with solid support last start over 7f at this track (Dirt) when eighth, beaten 20 lengths. Worth another chance. A G DIAMOND (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 7f at this track after being in contention on the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PIERCE ELEVATED (2) ran a better race last start, finishing 5 lengths away in fourth over 1m at Turfway Park. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
