Has done his best work over bigger tracks, but I think his last few are encouraging.
This is his best post in recent history and I look for him to in a more threatening spot
tonight.
In a consistent form spree for Crissman barn and is a versatile type that may engage
early tonight.

Added lasix last start at PHL but didn't fire vs. better. This is a better opportunity.
Woke up with a stout front end win on 10-6, should factor again from here.
Went a big mile in suffering his first recent defeat on 9-29, returns to old barn tonight and
we look for his usual hustle out of the gate.

Squandered a dream trip last out but this field may be slightly weaker.
Has quietly been in very good form and should appreciate the relief in draw.
Was filthy in his last race in a rare subpar performance. Would be surprised if he didn't
rebound soon.

Outfought #2 last week in a deserved win. Won't be easy from here but he's talented

Took advantage of #3's struggles last week and was a willing pocket pursuer turned
victor. No reason to think she won't factor again.
Her last race was much improved and it took a fierce rally from #1 to get her beat.
Hard to say what to expect here after being a beaten favorite last week in debut, she
raced very greenly. Keep her on your radar.

Suffered a tough loss last week but raced gamely again and gets post edge on key
threats.
His last two here were dynamite efforts, look for another assertive effort.
Hard to say what to expect from him tonight. His only recent effort on a half mile was
against buzzsaws. He's a wicked fast horse, but on the comeback trail.

This horse is razor sharp right now and although he hasn't been getting tote action, he's
worth a long look.
He's tackled the likes of these successfully before and I'd argue this division is weaker
than his last.
Has quietly rounded into a good form spree and should offer fair value tonight.

She's shown good gate speed in limited action and was a solid 2nd to a top filly in round
one.
Was 4th vs. similar last week and connections have been a force in DSBF program over
the years.
No question she's the filly to beat here after a dominant win last week.

In a spot where he's supposed to be a strong player on the class drop and he's wicked
quick off the gate.
Relatively unproven vs. these but is receiving a dose of class relief here. Never an easy
task being the lone 3-year-old vs. older horses.
Stepped up and delivered a powerful performance here on 10-6. This is slightly tougher.

Held safe in third last week, may look to secure a trip behind the two favorites.
Looking forward to the showdown with #3 here, this filly looked a little lazy on the lead
last week but was kept to task and raced gamely. She will get a stiff test from #3 here.
Got a little bumpy early last week but was super in a track record performance. Poses a
legitimate threat to #2 here in intriguing matchup.

Back after a month off, the 11-year-old is in a greaet spot here and receives class relief.
Horrible trip last start as the second choice, should be live in rebound attempt.
Was just third vs. similar here and his six wins this year is tops in the field.

Beaten chalk in his last two but receives a class drop and another perfect draw. No
excuses here.
He's starting to acquire some class relief for team Clark, took his season's mark here i
August.
Earned a check from a bad spot last time and looks to hold ground from here.

Barn has been hot of late, this one has the potential to strike with these.
I like the recent progression here and this looks like a wide open field.
Sans a few recent miles, he usually finishes close.

The speed and post make him a hard to dismiss type tonight.

Flattened out late last time but respect the class he brings to the table.
Finding class relief for team Lynch, I favor his recent races over many in field.
Stalled a bit in deep stretch last out but still a fairly reliable option in exotics.
