SAMS AFTER PARTY (2) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 6½f at Parx (Dirt) when he was in the firing line all the way. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. EXPLOSIVE LOVE (7) is a seven-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent appearance over 6f at this track (Dirt). This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. BALTIC (5) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 6f at Laurel (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. One to consider. NANTUCKET (6) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Jamie Ness yard. Finished off last campaign with a seventh at Keeneland (Dirt) eight months ago. Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. One of the main chances.
