OVID (2) returned from a lay-off five-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into seventh over 6f at Thistledown. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. SHADOW STRIKE (4) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), getting home by 0. 1 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. LIVE A LITTLE (5) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished sixth when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Thistledown (Dirt) then improved and scored over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by one length after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. Set Weights AYBACK MOBIL (1) is a consistent performer with seven minor placings from 10 starts this time in work. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when third over 1m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
