BARGAIN PURCHASE (5) finished 18 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1408m at Saratoga two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. The one to beat in this line up. TONY HOOKS (7) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1673m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Awkwardly drawn and might need a little luck early. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BABY MEANIE (8) was prominent at the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1673m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BIG EGO (4) finished second last time out when resuming over 1106m at this track (Dirt), making it seven career minor placings. Goes well here with two top-three finishes to his credit. Must be respected.
