Several have been competing in allowance races and drop in class including Cairo King though the latter’s best efforts have been on Turf so far. Its Yes returned a losing favourite at Mahoning Valley last time and is preferred to Sonic Jet and the recent maiden winners Don’t Tell Nobody and Native River but SHELL FIRE makes most appeal. He could have been luckier with the draw today but was beaten less than a length at Houston the last time he raced in a claimer and a bold bid is expected.
