SHIP BOSS (3) finished second two runs back at Fonner Park (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 1. 75 lengths over 4f at Fonner Park (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. ROCKETS RED FLAIR (4) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when eighth, beaten 21 lengths, over 1m at Fonner Park (Dirt). Taking on a better field but he is good enough to turn things around. SHANKADOPOLOUS (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on October 8, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths over 5½f at this track. One to consider. IT'S A FLUKE (2) is back from a lay-off of seven months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 6f at this track. Has switched to the Tom Gardipy (Jnr) stable. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
