SOKOTA (1) met with solid support last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 7 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. APOLAUSTIC (6) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1308m at this track, beaten 15 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HIDDEN FAVOR (5) went forward over 1408m at this track (Dirt) last time but found a couple better. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and three minor placings from eight outings. Expected to be competitive. SAILOR SAM (3) is a last-start winner six-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 1308m at this track. Winning claims on best figures.
