SPICY CARTEL (6) ran well despite being friendless in betting when resuming last time over 1f80yards at Remington Park (Dirt), finishing third and beaten 0. 9 lengths at 33/1. Among the leading hopes. DEL CARTEL (2) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2. 5 lengths over 1f130yards at Remington Park (Dirt). Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. THIS EAGLE CAN ROCK (4) closed last prep nine months ago when she finished third over 1f130yards at this track. Should run very well. SOPHEY (8) is a seven-start maiden who finished eighth, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1½f at Remington Park (Dirt). Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
