SPIRIT OF AKRON (2) was safely held when sixth last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 16 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. A PRAYER FOR KIDS (4) could only manage second as favourite last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt) when he gave away too much start, making it three minor placings from six starts this campaign. Worth another chance. AFLEET O ME (1) is ready to break through after collecting his 5th minor placing in a row last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HARSH TRUTH (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fifth. Capable of featuring prominently.
