TALKIN PHAROAH (9) is returning from a lay-off of eight months. Finished fifth at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 6f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Michael E Jones Jnr. Plenty to like about his prospects. MY BLUE EYES (8) is a last-start winner over 5f at Penn National (Dirt), showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 1.75 lengths. Darius Thorpe goes well on this five-year-old and is back on top. Bold showing expected. JAMES GANG (3) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing second over 4½f at this track (Dirt) most recently. One of the main contenders. SHIP THE GOODS (5) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.5 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Nicely placed to play a role in the finish.
