TEMPLE (1) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 1m at Fairgrounds. Lines up. For the first time for trainer abel ramirez-rodriguez. Expect him to play a major role. SEVEN BRIDGES ROAD (10) is mixing form recently on the dirt. Finished fifth at Delta Downs two starts back then improved to score at Will Rogers Downs over 1m four weeks ago. In winning form amd worth following up. COASTAL BRINK (5) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at Sam Houston Park (Turf) two starts back then got the job done by half a length last time out over 1m1/2f at Sam Houston Park (Turf). Has the talent to produce another positive result. INTERSTELLAR (7) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 4 lengths over 1m at Sam Houston Park (Turf). Likely to be there at the finish again.
