KNICKS GATE (4) wound up strongly last time out to finish one length adrift in second over 6f at Thistledown. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to hold out. IT'S LAST CALL (3) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish third last start over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt), beaten 1. 3 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EL MUCHACHO ALEGRE (6) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 1. 3 lengths, over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt). Solid top-three claims. BEECHMONT (7) has been in good form, scoring three back at Timonium (Dirt) then placing twice in a row, most recently when second over 6½f at Charles Town (Dirt). Well placed and will be thereabouts again.
