DURAN (10) met with solid support last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 2.75 lengths. Back in trip and worth another chance. SAND CREEK (11) knuckled down strongly to get within a nose of the winner in second last start over 1207m at this track. Winning rider Erik Asmussen stays aboard. Best form puts him right in this. ILLUSTRATOR (12) finished 14 lengths adrift in ninth last time at Remington Park Turf (Turf) in a disappointing performance. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. AWESOME FANTASY (2) returns after a spell of three months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1308m at Presque Isle Downs. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
