BOURBON AFICIONADO (1) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track (Dirt) over 1308m. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and should prove tough to beat. TAVERN TIME (6) got well back over 1609m at Penn National (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 12 lengths away in fourth. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. OHIO JOE (4) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1609m at Monmouth Park Turf (Turf). Looks a strong top-three prospect. HOME INVASION (8) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1673m at Delaware Park (Dirt). Must be included in calculations.
