NAMBITI (3) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start when he did his best work late but found a couple better over 6f at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being prominent at the bend. The engagement of Yan Aviles is noteworthy. Likely improver with strong prospects. WORTHY OPPONENT (7) is fresh from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Belterra Park (Dirt) over 6f. In a different yard now. Worth serious consideration. When resuming over 6f at this track (dirt), beaten 18 lengths. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One to consider. BABA LOOEY (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on January 24 finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Sure to make his presence felt.
