RHODESIA (3) made progress last time out, finishing 2. 75 lengths from the winner in second when he worked home well at the end of 5½f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. JUST PLAIN ORNERY (7) was an effortless winner last time over 6½f at Chippewa Downs (Dirt), scoring by 10 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts him right in this. LOVELY SASSICAIA (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fifth in a 5½f contest at this track five weeks ago. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. BRANNIGAN (1) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing second over 7f at this track. Another top-three finish is on the cards.
