BERGHEIM (5) lifted strongly to score by half a length two runs back at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) then finished third over 6f in stakes class at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) last time in tougher grade. Reunites with F Wethey Jr which is a proven winning combination. Well placed and should be in the finish. GOLDEN GRIT (2) was a winner on dirt over 6f at Sam Houston Park in a but missed the frame on turf over 1m at Sam Houston Park last time. Better placed here and expecting he will make amends. MIDNIGHT HUMOR (6) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 16/02/2025, finishing 12th and beaten 18 lengths over 6f at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Now under the care of new trainer Jayde J Gelner. Has to be respected. ESSAY (4) was beaten 7 lengths into seventh over 6f at Sam Houston Park at his latest appearance. No surprise to see him in the mix.
