NIXON JOY (10) turned in a mediocre run last time out over 1673m at this track (Dirt) after a nice win the start prior. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SILENT MODE (5) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track (Dirt), most recently beaten a nose into second over 1710m at this track (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. SUNDAY SPIRIT (7) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 0.3 lengths last time out over 1673m at Penn National (Dirt). Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. HERMOSO HOMBRE (3) is having his first run since winning by 7 lengths a month ago over 1710m at this track. Has transferred to the Marvin Richards stable over the break. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
