DRUM ROLL PLEASE (2) has had two runs since a break, the latest a sixth over 7f at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Strips fitter so a big run is on the cards. CARCONE (7) raced on the speed last time and was game in defeat when third over 6½f at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic). Winning chance. SAMMY STONE (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 20 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 6½f at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. NORTH WARDEN (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 31/10/2024, finishing eighth and beaten 88 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
