HARDLY EVER BETTER (3) finished 5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 4½f at Charles Town a week-and-a-half ago. Steps up in journey. Reunites with Marshall Mendez which is a proven winning combination. Bold showing expected. SHOOT THE BREEZE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at Charles Town, beaten 10 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the turn. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. THIS KATZ FOR REAL (5) is back from a break of four months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when seventh over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Has to be respected. BOOYAH (4) lines up for the first time since January 23. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 6f at Mahoning Valley. Now under the care of new trainer Julie Stansbury. Sure to make his presence felt.
