BOYS OF SUMMER (2) finished second two runs back at Parx (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 5 lengths over 1609m at Parx (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish again. TROPANDHAGEN (6) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 1207m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. WHITE SERIES (4) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 20 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1308m at Charles Town, beaten 13 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. RUNNINGFORJOY (7) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1673m at Presque Isle Downs, beaten just one length. Well placed to feature in the finish. Something for the Multiples: AWESOME HARRY (5)
