CENTRAL PARK (8) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by 0. 3 lengths over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. COUSIN RICHIE (6) is returning from a lay-off of seven months. Finished fourth at Golden Gate Fields (Synthetic) over 1m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer N A Koch. Worth serious consideration. DESPERATE MAN (1) finished a 10 length ninth when resuming last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Has been in the money at each second up start. Expected to run well. BODENHEIMER (4) ran below expectations when fresh from a lay-off at this track (Dirt) over 4½f last time, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
