PROVEN ADVOCATE (9) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) over 1m1/2f after he had travelled in a rearwards position. Has the talent to find the winners' list. TURN NORTH (10) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten half a length into second over 5½f at this track (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Generally takes a sit but the draw makes it tricky. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts. TIZABLING (5) is racing well, scoring in a at Listed level at this track (Dirt) before finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third last time over 6f at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Winning rider David Cabrera sticks. Sure to be competitive. BABY OF THE FAMILY (7) is a five-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the James B Martin barn. Resumes after finishing sixth at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) at his last run six-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks well placed. One of the main chances.
