RED ROAD (3) Gave away some ground when 7th last time at Fair Grounds. Should improve from the last run. Displays good tactical speed. Timothy Thornton is a crucial engagement. Definite claims. C F HENRY (2) First up from a break of 12 weeks and couldn't keep the pace going when 3rd beaten by almost 7L first up last preparation at Louisiana Downs. In the mix. MALIBU BRAD (9) Ran 6th last time here. Looking for an improved run and rising in distance. Tracking very well this preparation. Winning hope. COASTAL DEFENSE (4) First run back from a break. Didn't threaten when 7th last time at Delta Downs. Is capable of a resurgence. Must respect.
