ICABAD CRANE never off the board over inner, gelding is cross-entered at Philly Park but if he runs here his last two efforts and his liking to this surface will be tough to beat. MINE OVER MATTER toss effort two back where he was fanned five wide as favorite and finished off board, has two sharp bullet works and his usual will put him right at the wire in here. RUFFINO consistent runner who like others in here likes this track, should be in the mix early.
