DEFENSE WINS (4) Led all the way to win by a margin of 3 1/2L last time at the track. First start for a new trainer. Going well this campaign. Worth a ticket. GROOVY HUEY (9) Set the pace when winning by 1 3/4L last time at this venue. Daniel P Vergara and Kasey Kemper form a proven partnership. Very competitive this campaign. No shock to see a win. STRENGTH OF AUTISM (5) Came on strongly when 3rd last time at this venue. Jockey Francisco Garcia and trainer Jose Silva Jr can't be overlooked. Tracking very well this preparation. Good prospect for the exotics at least. FRIDAYNIGHTSOLDIER (3) Rattled home nicely into 3rd beaten by 3 1/2L last start at this track and suited at this distance historically. Has a nice turn of foot. Looks a great place bet.
