CROSSINGTHECHANNEL (3) sat on the pace on debut last start and showed some fight to hang on for second over 1207m at Laurel (Dirt). Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he will prove tough to beat. FIGHTFORALLEGIANCE (5) did little and finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1609m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth on debut at this track the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. FUNKY SEE FUNKY DO (6) is on debut. By Maximus Mischief and hails from the Chad Summers stable. Bold showing expected. SONIC SURGE (8) was never really a threat on debut last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt), finishing 8 lengths from the winner in seventh. Better for that outing and is expected to run well.
