NOT FALLING BACK (4) settled well back when 24 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf last start, a less impressive effort than his sixth at Fairgrounds Turf the run before. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. OLIVERIO (1) finished third two runs back at Fairgrounds (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1673m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Enjoys a drop in grade so he is one of the main contenders. WAYLLEN RICHARD (6) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1673m at Fairgrounds after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has the ability to take this out. VINO COURAGIO (5) was beaten 7 lengths into ninth in a 1710m contest at Tampa Bay Downs last time out. The engagement of Israel Hernandez is a positive move. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
