SHIRL'S DELIGHT (1) is resuming from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months and having her first run for the E T Allard yard. Was in the placings when when resuming from a lay-off last campaign at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) over 6f. Can make an immediate impact for the new mentor. EXPLOSIVE LOVE (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was handy all the way over 7f at Laurel (Dirt). Has the class to take care of this field. TITANIO (3) finished tenth when resuming at Charles Town two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 4½f at Charles Town, beaten 2. 25 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RIP MY HEART (4) is back from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a fourth, beaten 14 lengths, over 6f at this track. Must be respected.
