KJ BAD TO THE BONE (3) was always well out of his ground when 7 lengths from the winner in ninth over 2f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his eighth at this track the run before. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be taken lightly. GOOD CANDY WAGON (5) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when ninth, beaten 4. 5 lengths, over 2f at this track (Dirt). Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. RM DULCE VALIENTE (6) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1f80yards at Turf Paradise. Can make his presence felt. BARBAROSSA (1) resumes from a lay-off of three months. Has filled a minor placing at both when resuming runs. Opened last prep with a second over 1f130yards at Remington Park. Bold showing expected.
