BAYOU JAM (3) finished fourth last time out over 1408m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Is very effective at this distance with five wins from 26 runs. Should be in this for a long way. HANKS (2) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when tenth and beaten 15 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the corner. Must raise the bar but a big run will not surprise. SHORTLIST (6) has switched yards since finishing second a month ago over 1673m at Fairgrounds. Can make his presence felt. KAJUN KARMA (9) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by half a length over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Solid top-three prospects.
