KERNESS K (8) Romped home to win last start around here. Jevian Toledo and Brittany T Russell enjoy a high success rate together. Displays good tactical speed. A win wouldn't surprise. NOLA BOSS (5) Comprehensive victory when winning by 3 1/4L last time at this venue. Jockey Sheldon Russell and trainer Brittany T Russell are an appealing combination. Winning hope. SLAM NOTION (4) Finished well when winning last run around here. Won't be far away during the run. Jockey J G Torrealba and trainer W Robert Bailes are a promising combination. Betting may be best guide to the chances and each way is the likely play. MISSION FIRST (6) Applied plenty of pressure when 3rd beaten by more than 4 1/2L last time at Penn National and solid career start. Should come to hand quickly. Solid each way claims.
