Started at $12.00 and didn't find the line when 7th last time at this venue but having second race start. Jeffrey A Radosevich stable are on fire recently. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

Caught the eye when 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last time around here and was a debutant last start. Displays very good closing speed. Has a good draw. Must respect.

Was $9.50 and ran past a few when 4th last run here. First start for a new trainer. Solid prospects.

Was $14.00 and weakened to finish 8th last start here. Likely to bounce back. Strong claims in this.

Was $12.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 9th last start around here but was a debutant last start. Jeffrey A Radosevich stable are running hot lately. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Started $3.40 and ran 4th last run here but fitter for debut run. Will be positive in the run early. David J Haldar is in good form for this stable. Modest hope.
