DELTA TAU CHI (8) returns from a substantial lay-off and tackles a synthetic track for the first time. Opened last prep with a tenth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 7f. Can launch this prep with a win. ESH (2) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1m1/2f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf). Good chance to break through. LIVEHAPPY (7) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 5f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt), beaten 1. 3 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves his chance. SOUTHERN BULLET (13) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked-in fifth over 6½f at this track (Synthetic). This looks a nice race so expect him to finish closer.
