RANGER JOE (6) put the writing on the wall last time when second at this track (Dirt) over 6f, beaten 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ICE STORM (1) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fourth. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. BARON'S SONG (3) failed to figure again last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths into fifth. Should park just off the speed. Should be involved in the finish. CASH'S CAT (2) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of five-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 6½f at Grants Pass (Dirt). Has ability and is worth including.
