CHIEF BRADY (3) ran well below his best last time over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth at 1/1. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. ELLS (6) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at Lone Star Park (Dirt) with success over 1m at Legacy Downs (Dirt) a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 0. 3 lengths after being in contention on the turn. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. GOLDEN BUCK (1) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in, most recently when second over 5½f at this track. Well placed out to a longer trip now. Fitter and among the main hopes. NU SOUP FOR BABY (4) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5f at this track when he made late ground, beaten 0. 8 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
