DARK BARON (3) did a great job to score by 1.75 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. No reason he cannot salute again. REINVEST (5) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Anthony Rodriguez who has three wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender. TRICKY TIGER (4) started at $5.80 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at this track over 1609m. Should be prominent from the outset. Capable of testing this field. COLONEL VARGO (6) finished 7 lengths back in sixth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Should be poised just off the lead. In the mix.
