MO WORK (1) Lost ground in the run home when 10th last run at this venue. Capable of bouncing back and drawn the rails. Should muster plenty of early speed. Won't be far away. BANNED FOR LIFE (3) Backs up quickly. Folded up in the straight when 6th last time at this venue. May see an upturn in form and competing at a lower level of competition. Serious player. BRODEUR (5) Looked outclassed when 4th last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Has the potential to improve sharply but competing in a higher grade. Won't be far away during the run. Looks a great place bet. SUMMONYOURCOURAGE (7) First up after 26 weeks and showed a good turn of foot when 3rd beaten by more than 5 1/2L first up last preparation at this track. Can give this a shake.

Odds of $4.50 and weakened under pressure when 10th last run at this venue. Capable of bouncing back and can save some energy from the alley. Expecting to settle positively. Tough competitor.
