DRILL CITY (3) gave the leaders a start last start and made little impact in the straight when seventh, beaten 4 lengths, over this journey at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. DEW IT WITH CLASS (5) got a long way back when 17 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1207m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Mahoning Valley the run before. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. COUPLE BEERS DEEP (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 12 lengths when sixth over 1207m at Mahoning Valley six weeks ago. The engagement of N Vigil is a positive move. Likely improver with strong prospects. SEEKING FREEDOM (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 16 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
