DEVIOUS DENNIS (1) comes here off a break of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5½f at Remington Park. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. BAR ROOM BUDDY (7) has been in the money three times including last start on March 31 when second over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the top-three in two runs at this venue. Looks ready for that breakthrough win. HILLBILLY UP (5) was in contention on the turn and finished third last time over 6f at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 4 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. IMA BOXER BOY (2) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 5½f at this track. Suitably placed so he can figure again.
