INNOVA (3) Close up last start at this track and back in an easier grade. Geovanni Franco and Abel Ramirez Rodriguez form a proven partnership. Going well this campaign. Won't be far away. COMPETITIVE IDEA (7) Zipped home into 2nd last run at the track and going back up in trip. Jockey Jr Floyd Wethey and trainer Dick Cappellucci are an appealing combination. Has the ability to figure. HERE COMES BRAYLON (5) Displayed a strong effort throughout the race when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last start here. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. This field suits. TRUST DADDY (6) Just short of the win last time here and will find this grade more suitable. Should be swooping on the field late. Worth consideration.

Rounded them up to win last start at Evangeline Downs and facing a weaker group of contenders. Racing for a new trainer and has a good draw. Will not be far away.

Right in contention last start here and stepping down to a lower level. Jockey Geovanni Franco and trainer Abel Ramirez Rodriguez are a promising combination. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Started at $18.00 and faded away to finish 7th last time at the track but up against a less challenging field. Rene Diaz is a key engagement. Has some claims.
