HIGH FRONT (1) got well back over 5½f in stakes class at Fairgrounds (Turf) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 8 lengths away in ninth. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. JACKMAN'S RIDE (9) is back at the races for the first time since November 1. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 5f at this track. Comes here with definite claims. BAD BEAT BRIAN (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1. 3 lengths when fourth in a 5f contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago after being prominent at the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. HELLADIC (5) really dug deep to get the prize by 2 lengths three runs back at Delta Downs (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. This looks a nice race so deserves respect.
