VAGABOND SHOES (2) Has a good record first up. Controlled the pace to win by 1L last start at Turfway Park and suited at this trip in the past. Expecting to settle positively. Take holding out. AINT NO BANDLEADER (5) Backing up quickly for this race. Tailed off to finish 5th last start at Thistledown. Likely to bounce back. Has shown early pace in races to date. Definite winning chance. THE PINK Z (1) Rocketed home when winning last time at Mahoning Valley and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Shows good early pace. Getting better in recent performances. Among better hopes. FIRE WIRE (3) Finished well when winning last start around here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Place makes best appeal.
