T REX UNION (2) comes here off a break of eight months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 4½f at this track. Rates highly and should take some beating. GRONKSFLYINSEAGULL (7) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by 0. 8 lengths over 5½f at Penn National (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be discounted. BLAMEITONMYROOTS (6) did a great job to score by 2. 75 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a break last time out. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can get the job done. TOWN HOT (4) was beaten 8 lengths into fifth over 7f at this track last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
