HEAD OF THE CLASS (1) turned in a fine effort to score by 1. 75 lengths at this track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Taking on a better line-up this time but he can get the job done. CASE ACE (6) finished fifth last time out over 6½f at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Senior rider goes aboard. Leading contender. FIBER STRONG (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 4½f at this track, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Has a fair record when second up, including three top-three finishes. The engagement of Arnaldo Bocachica is a positive move. Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out. BLESSEDNOTLUCKY (7) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 5½f at Thistledown (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 5 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
