GAPPER (2) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at Mahoning Valley. Has the talent to take this out. GOTTOMAKEITHAPPEN (5) hit the frame two starts ago at Mahoning Valley but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 23 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. DERBY INCLUDED (3) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) when beaten 4 lengths. Big chance to break through. MUCHO PRIMO (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Mahoning Valley, beaten 21 lengths into fifth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
