MUNICIPAL (6) started at $2.55 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1207m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. STANDARD DEDUCTION (3) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at his last two runs, the latest when third over 1673m at Penn National (Dirt), beaten 2.75 lengths. Going well enough to test this field. HOBSON'S CHOICE (4) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 4 lengths away in third over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Blinkers added. Leading player again. CALL ME A TAXI (2) finished third last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
