RULEROFTHEUNIVERSE (7) returns from a layoff of eight months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6½f at Churchill Downs. Rates highly and should take some beating. BRICK CITY (1) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 6f at this track (Dirt), scoring by 0. 3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be discounted. TOP MAVERICK (3) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 17 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 6f at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. HE BE HOPPIN (4) was beaten 8 lengths into fifth in a 7f contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Capable of featuring prominently.
