HONEST AL (6) resumes from a lay-off of ten weeks and is having his first outing under new trainer Eric Foster. Finished fifth at Colonial Downs (Dirt) over 1m at the opening run last time in work. Rates highly and can return in winning form. BIG WALT (10) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 6½f at this track (Synthetic) last time. Peaking now and likely to be in the finish. CANNON (8) finished 3. 5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 6½f at this track, an improvement on his seventh at Churchill Downs the run before. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. BUCYK (9) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Jesus Esquivel stable. Most recently finished in the placings at Woodbine before going for a break. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Has to be respected.
