ETHEREAL ROAD (1) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park, an improvement on his seventh at Oaklawn Park the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. Set Weights ISS SLANG (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 24/01/2025, finishing sixth and beaten 20 lengths over 1m2f at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. HOODLUM (6) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 6 lengths. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. TIGER MOON (4) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1m1/4f at Monmouth Park. Definite top-three chance.
