SERGEANT GUMP (4) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. The engagement of Jann N Hernandez is noteworthy. Finds the right race this time and can take the next step and salute. BOTTLES (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when sixth in a 1609m contest at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf two-and-a-half weeks ago. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to be prominent. MELODY WIN (6) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1207m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. BOAT SONG (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1106m at Mountaineer Park, beaten 10 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
