FIREBALL BIRDIE (2) returns from a layoff of 12 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1m at Churchill Downs. Has ability and should be right in the finish. TIME FOR TRUTH (4) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m1/2f at Turfway Park, beaten 2. 25 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MAZING MARK (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing third and beaten only a neck over 1m at Delta Downs (Dirt) after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. LEAR (6) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1m at this track (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 1. 75 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
