HOULTON (4) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1m at this track (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to figure in the finish. SILENT MODE (3) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. STURDY (5) is back after a break of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1m1f at Saratoga. Has to be respected. MISSOURI RIVER (1) turned in a fine effort to win by 2. 25 lengths at this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Likely to be there at the finish again.
