PAINTING STONES (7) is back from a lay-off of eight months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 6f at this track (Dirt). Will be tough to beat. PROFITABILITY (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 34 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when eighth over 1m1/2f at Tampa Bay Downs, beaten 16 lengths. Finds the right race this time and can find the winner's circle. REDOUBTABLERIPKEN (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 16 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 4½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. REAL ELEVE (5) was in contention on the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 4. 5 lengths. Fitter for that run. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Capable of another strong performance.
