(# 3) FORTUNATE TRAIL - Catches a spot off the layoff where he can get a clear lead early in a race lacking any other speed. Makes 1st start for trainer Ralph Martinez who is excellent off the claim, returnees and horses going sprint to a route. Rider change to Zimmerman who rides a lot of winners for this barn.

(# 2) I'M Bluffing - looms a danger to top pick off his sharp and consistent form. Takes a confident boost in class off a game win. Steadied on the 1st turn but overcame the trouble. Trainer Reavis is having a strong meet. Likes this track. Draws a good inside post.

(# 4) Mud Shark - disliked a wet track in last off a layoff. Has no early speed but his late run can be dangerous in here off a smart drop to $8,000. Well suited to today's distance.
