VICTORY FOR VETS (5) is a last start winner over 6½f at this track (Dirt), making it two victories from four appearances this campaign. Jose L Alvarez who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Likely to feature. TOO MUCH ACTION (4) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on 12/12/2024, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1m1/4f at Remington Park (Dirt). Has been in the top three at all five starts here, including two wins. Bold showing expected. DUST EM (7) finished second over 7f at Listed level at Gillespie County Fairground (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on August 24. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. PROVEN ADVOCATE (6) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt), beaten half a length. Steps up a level but he is good enough to make a big impact.
