HEY BOOTS (7) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2.5 lengths over 4½f at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with six wins and six minor placings from 16 runs. Leading player again. ELLIE'S BOYFRIEND (1) continues to race well with a win in a at this track (Dirt) before finishing 2.5 lengths away in second last time over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Jorge Luis Gonzalez is back on and has a solid record on the four-year-old, including three wins. Expecting a bold showing. FATHER WALSH (6) was never in contention when 6 lengths from the winner in sixth over 4½f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Finger Lakes the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SHIP THE GOODS (2) ran below expectations last start, finishing tenth and beaten 9 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 4½f. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
