WORKER BEE (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. OUR DAY WILL COME (2) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last start to make it three straight. Same winning combination as last time and can measure up again. OUR NOTION (3) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third last time out over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Solid top-three prospects. CAIRO SURPRISE (4) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a second, beaten one length, over 1207m at Penn National. Solid top-three hope.
