VICTORIOUS VANDA (6) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1. 3 lengths away in second over 6f at this track (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MYSTERIOUS TALE (3) is back from a lay-off of 11 weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 5f at North Dakota Horse Park (Dirt). Has found the right race to kick off the campaign. PAYNTED BLUE (7) was an effortless winner last time over 4½f at this track (Dirt), scoring by 12 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One to consider. HOLDEN THE LUTE (8) stuck on well last start to finish third over 6f at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. In the right race and is one of the big hopes.
