JOE DON LOONEY (5) comes here fresh from an all-the-way win by 1.5 lengths over this journey at this track (Dirt) on February 4. Goes well at this journey with five wins from 15 starts and should be in the finish. ITSALLGOODMAN (3) returned from a lay-off five weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the bend before being beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 6½f at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. ULTIMATE (7) has been racing well and is poised to break through after four minor placings in a row, the latest when second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Proven performer at this circuit with minor placings at all four runs. Winning claims on best figures. EXXEL (2) was beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 6f at this track at his latest appearance. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
