COLONEL POPPY (2) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 6f at this track (Synthetic). Has never been out of the placings at this stage of the prep. Has a solid record at this circuit. Should run well. With added fitness. MEAN TWEETS (3) didn't do a bad job when sixth last start after being prominent at the corner over 6f at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. That followed a win at Tampa Bay Downs the start prior. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. CERTAIN (1) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end before most recently finished second over 6f at this track. Well placed to return to best form. HE'S A GOOD DANCER (5) was sent out at long odds when resuming last time but ran above expectations to finish second, beaten only 0.3 lengths, over 6f at this track (Synthetic). Addiel J Ayala who has two wins when partnering stays on. Open to improvement.
