BACK TO OHIO (5) is in a purple patch of form with her fifth straight win coming last time out over 6f at this track (Dirt). Same winning combination as last time and can measure up again. HENRY MAC (4) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Strong record with Jose A Bracho aboard, including six wins. Will strip fitter and is one of the big chances. IT'S OFFICIAL (3) is resuming from a lay-off of nine months and is looking to add to a sequence of three wins, the most recent over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt). Form here at this distance is sound with four wins and five minor placings from 12 starts. Winning claims on best figures. DOUGIE D ORO (2) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing sixth last start over 6f at Listed level at this track (Dirt) seven weeks ago. Has a good record here at this journey with three wins and three minor placings from seven starts. Not to be discounted.
