BANNED FOR LIFE (1) finished third over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on February 14. Should be hard to stop. STAR'S IMAGE (4) finished second over 1006m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) at his last appearance on January 11 and returns today for a new stable. Good fresh performer with a win and two minor placings from three runs. Shapes as one to consider. YOU AIN'T POPPN (6) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 3.5 lengths. Steps up a level but he is good enough to make a big impact. SURF CITY (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1106m at Keeneland Turf, beaten 6 lengths into eighth. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
