THOUGHT (3) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths starting at $2.90. Has the ability to take this out. DEADPAN (8) lines up for the first time since April 3. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1710m at Colonial Downs. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from four tries. Now under the care of new trainer Anthony Farrior. Has found the right race. STATES UNITED (5) lines up for the first time since April 4. Looking to emulate his win at Laurel to kick off the last campaign. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Anthony Farrior. Makes plenty of appeal. ARAK (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
