BUCKEYE RED (3) Faded away to finish 6th last time at this track. Capable of bouncing back. No shock to see a win. GOOD MUSIC (4) Looked outclassed when 6th last time at this track. Looking for an improved run. One of the hopes. STRIKE ONE (6) Didn't threaten when 8th last run at this venue. Likely to bounce back. Shows good early pace. Include in chances. GIFT OF OAK (1) Attacked the line when 2nd last time around here and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Finishes off strongly. Not out of this.
