(# 8) GREAT UNCLE SCOTT - Runner drops down after facing better and running evenly in most of his races since breaking his maiden. The reduction in value should enable this Christine Janks trainee to pick up win number two.

(# 3) Lunar Affair - Last two runs have shown a lot of improvement for this gelded son of "Mr. Greeley." Has plenty of speed, and think he can clear these early.

(# 2) Wagon Load - Runner has gotten it together with the addition of blinkers several starts ago. Broke his maiden in last, so this is his first try against multiple winners.

(# 1) Apt to Shine - Stalker on the rail, was beaten by "Lunar Affair" two starts back in easy fashion. Has the ability to impact the race late if the speed doesn't hold well.
