Verdict

NAMPASEN (1) was sent out at $45.80 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1 ?m at this track. Expected to run well again. MEINER ODESSA (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1 ?m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. FIRST MATE (3) finished 11th over 1 ?m at this track last time out following a determined win two runs back. Hard to beat on his form from two starts ago. TRANSIENT (5) turned in another moderate effort last start when 8 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1 ?m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
