PAINTED LAD (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. HASHTAGMAKITHAPPEN (9) settled well back last start and never threatened when 10 lengths from the winner in eighth over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. SLIM JIMMY (8) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing second and only 0.3 lengths from the winner at the end of 6f after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. CLOUDY PAST (5) has filled a minor placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 1m at this track (Dirt). Hard to leave out.
