DEFENDING ALBERT (5) returned from a lay-off five weeks ago when he was beaten 12 lengths into ninth over 6½f at Turfway Park. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. EL MUCHACHO ALEGRE (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1. 5 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins and two minor placings from nine starts. Top chance again. GETAWAY BAY (1) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6f at this track. Definite top-three chance. REBEL INVASION (2) produced another moderate effort last start when 1. 5 lengths from the winner in tenth over 6½f at Parx. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
