MONTEREY PENINSULA (7) was handy in the run last time out before fading late to finish 7 lengths away in fifth over this trip at this track (Dirt). Can bounce back. TIME THE AVENGER (3) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1609m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Has the talent to return to the winner's list. LITTLE VAQUERO (2) finished 10 lengths away in third last time out at this track (Dirt). On a 10-day back-up. Good effort last start and should figure prominently. OCEAN OF STORMS (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Presque Isle Downs, beaten 17 lengths into sixth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
