Verdict

PRATT (6) sharp gelding who looks to be back on track after shouldering the 132lbs with a tough on-pace second over 5 ½f at this track. Will appreciate the claim again and can get the job done today. PONY SOPRANO (5) talented gelding who resumes with an excellent fresh record. Raced with distinction in Highway company last prep and looked to have plenty up the sleeve in both trial placings. Leading player. HEIR APPARENT (1) showed good early dash before fading to finish seventh over 5 ½f at this track. Drops further in weight and proven at this track and trip. BUCK PHAROAH (2) caught the eye in his two runs back and doesn't have to improve much to take a hand in the finish.
