JOHN'S PROTEGE (1) was in commission second up last start and was in the frame for the second time in as many runs this prep, finishing second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Overdue and gets his chance to break through. FIVE DESTINATIONS (2) turned in a modest performance when sixth last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 12 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. INDY COWBOY (3) finished fourth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 5½f at this track, beaten 8 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. RIPE FOR MISCHIEF (5) returned from a lay-off four weeks ago when he was beaten 11 lengths into fifth over 6f at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
