KNOCK KNOCK JOKE (3) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 8 lengths over 7f at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Alfredo J Juarez Jr sticks and he is a key runner. THREE ECHOES (2) wasn't far away last time out, finishing second over 6f at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. One of the main contenders. SMARTIER (7) ran below expectations last time at Sunland Park (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths starting at 13/8. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HEAVENVILLE (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park, beaten 34 lengths into eighth. Capable of featuring prominently.
