CLOSING WITH HONOR (2) has been in the money two times including last start on May 14 when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Goes well here with two top-three finishes to his credit. Likely to be in the finish. THE PETITIONER (8) has not been a factor of late. Two runs ago missed the placings over 1207m at this track. Most recently he failed to complete the course at this track. Likely to make amends for the last start mishap. SAMUEL (5) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1006m. Another big run expected. AZTECA STORM (7) produced another moderate effort last start when 13 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1207m at this track. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
