SCAREDY CATNESS (1) won his maiden four starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at his last two runs, most recently when second over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Winning rider Becerra Fernando Salazar stays aboard. Best form puts him right in this. GHOST PRINCE (5) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at Turfway Park, beaten only one length after being in contention on the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. STRENGTHNGUIDANCE (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. INTERVAL (3) has recorded five minor placings from five runs this preparation. Turned in another good effort last start when second over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Nicely placed to take this out.
