COWBOY ROY (7) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Could only manage to finish seventh last time out over 6f at Turfway Park (Synthetic) following a minor placing at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over 6½f the run prior. Well placed this line-up and might be his day. SUMMERINTHECOUNTRY (9) finished a 20 length fourth on dirt at Laurel in a then followed up with a minor placing on dirt at Colonial Downs over 6f five weeks ago. Making progress and looks a major player. BRIGHTSHININGLIGHT (4) was well fancied when resuming last start over 5½f at Laurel (Dirt) when third, beaten 2. 25 lengths. Will strip fitter and can atone. SE THAR BARR (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on October 18, finishing ninth and beaten 8 lengths over 1m1f at this track (Turf). Definite top-three chance.
