HANDSOME PANTS (3) finished third two runs back at Turfway Park (Synthetic) then improved last time out to score by 2. 25 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). Alexander Crispin scored on him last time and retains the mount. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TRAIN AND TRUST (5) could only manage eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TRICKY TIGER (4) is having his first run since winning by 0. 3 lengths three weeks ago over 6f at Tampa Bay Downs. Has transferred to the Nestor Rivera stable over the break. Can make his presence felt. JUDGE RULES (2) has returned in good order this campaign. Opened with a third at this track (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by 10 lengths as public elect last time out over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again.
