Race 1 Comments: JUNIOR’S DEW has had little chance closing into sub 29 second final panels at Saratoga and The Meadowlands in recent. Ships to The Catskills at a level he should go well at and looks best. STOP ACTION has lost last 7 races by a combined 100 ½ lengths but showed improved speed at Pocono in latest and raced well at this level in last visit. JOURNEYMAN had a tough uncovered trip at Buffalo last time. 10-year-old fits with these and has some back class.
