Congressman should be able to comfortably find the front. PRAIRIE DAWN (5) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Listed level at Kenilworth over 1950m on May 24. Has found the right race. SOHO HEARTTHROB (4) won over 1600m at this track at his most recent appearance on July 14. Expect him to play a major role. MIAMI SUMMER (2) scored by one length over 1600m at this track last start. Has a very good record here including three wins from five starts. Capable of running a big race. GENTLEMAN JOE (1) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep in stakes class at Fairview All Weather over 3150m on July 10. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
