Hard Story makes his track debut after racing in slightly better company at Will Rogers but looks to have a difficult task. Wise Ron gained his first success over 6f here last month but was behind BIG EGYPT and Spunky Kitten over the track and trip a couple of weeks ago. Thunder Box had Big Egypt back in third when runner-up here in February though that was over 6f and the latter can gain revenge over today's trip and land this. Auctioneer lost his maiden tag at the 16th time of asking three weeks ago though that was over an extended 6f and he's failed to reach a place in two start over this trip.
