SPIRIT OF A WALKON (3) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 4 lengths over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Will give a great sight. BIRD THE LEGEND (6) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt). Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. SPECIAL CALIBER (2) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track (Dirt) over 1408m on June 24. Among the better hopes. FLETCHER BAY (7) won at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Finds a nice race and can make amends. Something for the Multiples: MAX MONEY (1) YOU AIN'T POPPN (4)
