TEMPEST (5) returns from a lay-off of three months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 4½f at Charles Town (Dirt). Under the care of new trainer Donald T Blankenship this prep. Rates highly and should take beating. DRUM AND DRUMMER (3) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fifth over 5½f at Turf Paradise (Dirt). Will strip fitter and is ready to show what he can do. ONE TRUTH (2) is returning from a lay-off of five-and-a-half months. Finished eighth at Penn National (Dirt) over 5½f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Devan Sr Ewell. One of the genuine hopes in the race. GUARDIANSOF AUTISM (6) finished ninth over 5½f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on February 6. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
