FOUR BEACH FRIENDS (8) led and just failed to hang on last start over 5f at this track (Synthetic) when in the market to make it three minor placings from six runs this campaign. Sure to run another big race. LODATO (9) could only manage sixth when resuming two runs back then improved last start when he made late ground but found one better over 5½f at this track, beaten only 0. 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. FREEDOM STREET (7) was well in commission last start over 5f at this track (Synthetic) when third, beaten 5. 5 lengths. Can bounce back. SO GRAND (4) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 6½f at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
