RANSAM PAYNTER (2) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 5½f at this track after being in contention on the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MR BLUTARSKY (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. PACIFIDERO (3) is yet to break through after seven starts but not far off a win. Placed in a then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Has a strong finish. Shapes well and is among the main hopes. LEAVENWORTH (4) was never in contention last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt) when he finished seventh, beaten 13 lengths. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
