CANDY CONNECTION (1) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in contention on the corner before finishing second over 4½f at this track, beaten 1. 75 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CANDY MAN MARTIN (5) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track (Dirt), most recently beaten 2. 75 lengths into third over 6½f at this track (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. JACK'S ALOHA (8) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 6½f at this track last start. Should camp just off the leaders. One of the main contenders. ROARK (2) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 7 lengths away in third over 7f at this track (Dirt). Hard to leave out.
