DOCS LEGEND (2) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound second over 6f at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the bend. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. VANADIUM (4) finished seventh over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on September 15. Now under the care of new trainer Kristina M Tumblin. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. LORDBETWENTOTHORNS (7) is a six-start maiden who has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Gets his chance. QUALITY KISS (6) is back after a break of 11 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 6½f at Belterra Park (Dirt). Opened last prep with a minor placing at Belterra Park over 5f. Has ability and is worth including.
