VERNON'S BEST (6) Was in the race for a long way when 3rd beaten by 2L last time at the track. Should be going forward early. Take holding out. INDY'S HOPE (4) Ran home into 2nd beaten by 1L last run at the track. Should get going late. In the mix. P J'S BOY (5) 3yo by William's Kitten having first start for Jacinto Lopez. Watch for a sign in the market. LUCKY KATER (7) 4yo debutant by Itsmyluckyday for trainer Tina Casalinova. Betting is the best guide. Something for the Multiples: MOONSHINE JOE (3)
