TOWN'S WARRIOR (2) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance seven months ago over 1m at Delaware Park (Dirt). Comes here with definite claims. WISH FOR PEACE (1) was unwanted in betting when resuming last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten one length into second over 1m1/4f at Parx (Dirt). Has a win and seven minor placings from 12 starts at this track and distance. Will be hard to beat in this suitable contest. STRIKING SPARKS (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3. 5 lengths when seventh over 1m1/4f at Parx three weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. OCALA DREAM (5) has not won for a long while. Last raced on January 10 when beaten 13 lengths into ninth at Laurel (Dirt) over 6f. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating.
