LOCAL KNOWLEDGE (5) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt) eight months ago and has not been produced since. Likely improver who should run well again. VILLAGE PERSON (2) got the job done in grand style last start, scoring by 0.3 lengths over this journey at Aqueduct (Dirt) after stalking the lead. Among the top chances again. PLAYA DEL MAR (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) with today's rider Manuel Franco engaged. Is going okay this campaign, recording two wins and two minor placings from six starts. Strong claims on best figures. BUTTAH (3) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1308m at Aqueduct (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten a nose. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up.
