RIDING A DREAM (6) was an impressive winner last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), leading throughout and putting 2. 5 lengths on his rivals. Has a strong record at this course, scoring four times from six starts. Expected to be in the finish. PAYNTED WARRIOR (3) ran well below his best last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths into fourth at 4/1. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. Set Weights EN (8) turned in a fine effort to win by 3. 5 lengths at this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. OLD TOWN ROAD (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 11 lengths away in eighth over 6f at this track. Worth noting Jesus Suarez goes aboard. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
