MONGOLIAN SPRING (2) First up and strong effort to run into 2nd beaten by 1/2L first up last preparation at Emerald Downs. Drawn nicely. Can measure up to this company. SURROUNDEDBYANGELS (6) Looked outclassed when 7th last time around here. Has the talent to rebound quickly but will be facing a significant drop in distance. Should be going forward early. Must respect. SUN LA GOLD (1) Flew home to win last start at Grants Pass and has the ideal draw. Should jump out and bowl along. Showing improvement in recent outings. Appears well in this. YANKEE HUMOR (3) Couldn't maintain the pace when 7th last time at Presque Isle Downs. Is capable of a resurgence. Very competitive this preparation. Will be hitting the line strongly. Deserves consideration
