BACK SPIN (5) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound second over 1½f at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the corner. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. SHADOWS OF THE FIRE (2) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Vazquez Juvenal Licona stable. Finished off last campaign with a fifth at Lone Star Park (Dirt) five-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks nicely placed. Should feature in the finish. STRAIGHTAWAY TURNPIKE (6) finished fourth over 1½f at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 1.4 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time. LIN (9) is a 13-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 1.5 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1½f at this track (Dirt). Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
