MINISTER FOR MAGIC (6) is returning from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Finished ninth at Laurel (Turf) over 1m1/2f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Elliott Sullivan. Rates highly and can return in winning form. TRIKITRAKI (1) has been low flying recently, lifting strongly to score over 6f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) at the most recent outing to make it two straight victories. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. RHUMJAR (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0. 8 lengths over 7f at Charles Town (Dirt). That continued the very strong form this campaign, with four wins from six outings. Solid top-three chance. BOLDNESS (7) built on a nice third when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Thistledown (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 1m at Thistledown (Dirt) a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by a nose. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
