MUCINO (1) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 1m5f in stakes class at Ferndale (Dirt) last time. Should be prominent again and expected to feature. FREEPORT JOE (3) returns from a lay-off. Finished sixth at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep four months ago. Strong record with Asa Espinoza aboard, including seven wins. Sure to run well. COUSIN RICHIE (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. KEEP MOVIN' ON (2) comes here following a win over 1m at Fresno eight weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Winning claims on best figures.
