I CARTEL (2) last appeared when he did not complete the course on July 27 at Delta Downs. Now under the care of new trainer Braulio Hernandez. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. FREIGHT TRAIN D (4) broke his maiden last start over 0½f at this track (Dirt), scoring by 0.8 lengths. Re-unites with Ricardo Jr Hernandez who was on board last start. Progressing well so worth following up. TRAINARUNNIN (1) finished fourth over 1f31yards at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 0.9 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so he will prove hard to beat. APOLLITICALADY (8) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1f31yards at this track (Dirt), beaten half a length. Will benefit from that outing. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.
