SOUTHSIDE SAMURAI (4) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) in a tougher race. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he will prove tough to beat. J BUCK (2) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1106m at Saratoga (Dirt). Good chance to break through. GOD OF FIRE (6) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 5.5 lengths from the winner in fifth at Belmont Park Inner Turf (Turf) over 1207m. With blinkers added expect to see plenty of improvement. GEORGE'S PAL VINNY (5) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when sixth in a 1207m contest at this track five weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
