LIAM THE BRAVE (7) has switched yards since finishing ninth six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1m1/2f at Turfway Park. Will prove tough to beat for the new barn. WHY NOT ME (3) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 0. 8 lengths into second over 1m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LIFE IS HARD (4) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt), finishing 7 lengths from the winner in fourth. Can do much better. SAQEEL (6) is a eight-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the J P Silva barn. Finished off last campaign with a eighth at Turf Paradise (Dirt) nine weeks ago. Not seen at the trials but goes well fresh from a lay-off, filling a placing five times from 10 runs. Not to be underestimated.
