HELLO HOT ROD (5) strode forward early from his wide draw last start over 1m at this track (Dirt) only to fade late and finish fourth. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. JOHNNY APPLESEED (6) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third last time out over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Expected to prove tough to hold out again. SLEW SKIES (4) was below his best last time when sixth over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 10 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TIGERS 'N BEARS (9) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 6½f at this track. Fitter so a likely improver.
