WE NEED A FAVOR (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0. 8 lengths from the winner in second over 1m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HOT GUNNER (2) did a great job to score by 1. 3 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. EDDIE M (4) was safely held when third last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 10 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ONORE (6) has accrued two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Finished 1. 1 lengths from the winner in third at the latest outing over 1m at this track (Dirt). Must be included in this sort of form.
