Set Weights ILL (13) is racing well and has registered six minor placings in a row, last time out finishing third over 6f at Laurel (Dirt). Expected to cross from wide out. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. WILLIE BIRD (14) returns from a break of 11 months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 6f at Tampa Bay Downs. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. SPRINT OUT PASS (12) showed good early speed over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) last time and went on to salute by one length. Should be close to the pace despite the draw. Sure to be competitive. FURIOUS ANGER (4) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Can sneak into the finish.
