HARD RYE GUY (7) worked to the line steadily over 1673m at this track (Dirt) last time out and finished third. Honest record at this distance and expected to be in the finish this time. COASTING BY (1) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past four starts. Last time out he scored over 1609m at Mahoning Valley. Winning claims yet again. VACCINATOR (3) finished midfield at his first run back from a spell last start, beaten 8 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when in the market. Sure to be competitive. MOHTAFIL (5) is back at the races for the first time since December 6. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1609m at Presque Isle Downs. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. One to consider.
