THE RIDGE (1) resuming after back-to-back wins at the end of last campaign at Hawthorne. Solid record at this distance with two wins and one placing from four runs and should prove tough to beat. CLOAK AND DAGGER (6) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 8 lengths into fifth over 6f at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BANG A RANG (4) was safely held when fourth last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 7 lengths. That followed a win at Mahoning Valley at the previous outing. Nicely placed to return to winning form. CAPTURE MI (7) has not won for over a year, the latest running second at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Should be prominent from the outset. Should give backers a sight.
