VAIL OF HONOR (2) settled well back but hit the line hard to win by half a length over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Going up a level this time but he can get the job done. SEEING RED (3) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by 0.3 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. THAT'S THE WAY (6) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.5 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Boasts three wins here. Erik Barbaran who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Expected to measure up. AULD LANGE SYNE (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
