AUTIE (2) is a talented type who returned from a break last start and made it two wins from as many starts, scoring by half a length over 6f at this track. Kept fresh for this and looks the testing material again. PETITFOR (1) ran a strong second over 5f at this track (Turf) two runs back then was below his best last time over 6f when seventh, beaten 19 lengths. Has a strong winning strike rate at this shorter distance so can bounce back. MATZOH BALL (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at Evangeline Downs, beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the turn. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. STARPORT (3) returns from a long lay-off and tackles a turf track for the first time. Opened last campaign with a second at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Has found the right race and is worth including.
