DR NIKO (3) has been safely held at his last couple of runs, the latest when fifth over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Rates on top on best figures and will appreciate this far easier company. SAFE BET (6) again failed to feature last start, finishing seventh and beaten 5.5 lengths over 6f at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and should go a lot better. LITTLE DITTY (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fifth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ROYAL IRISH (11) finished 6 lengths from the winner in fourth at his most recent outing over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) after he gave away a big start. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
