CHASING TIME (3) resumed over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) last start where he drifted back early and didn’t threaten, finishing fifth. Has been in the money at each second up start. Likely improver. WITHOUT A TRACE (6) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 1m at this track. Lines up. For the first time for trainer karen e jacks. One of the genuine hopes in the race. BLUE LIGHT (1) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Fitter for that last hitout and is expected to feature in the finish. GREAT ESCAPE (4) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 7½f at Delta Downs (Dirt). Has been knocking on the door and he can figure in the finish.
