SMART JOKER (1) Overrun late when 3rd last start at the track and matched against less formidable competition. Ademar Santos and James M Watkins work well together. Placed at every start this campaign. Expect to go close. STAGFLATION (3) Unimpressive effort when 4th last time at Hawthorne and facing stiffer opposition. Racing consistently this prep. Has good finishing speed. Definite claims. PONTUS (6) Unsatisfactory performance when 6th last time around here and up against tougher competition. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. TIZWOW (4) Led and controlled the pace to win by 6L last start at the track but up against a higher level of opposition. Will be positive in the run early. Keep in mind.
