CARIBBEAN PLEASURE (6) is going well, scoring by 3. 5 lengths two runs back at this track (Dirt) before finishing fourth last time over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. OPTIMISTIC NATE (2) was beaten for early speed and didn't come into contention when a disappointing eighth over 4½f at this track (Dirt) most recently. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. CAJUN JOE (3) finished third two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by one length over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. SECESSION (5) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing second, beaten 3. 5 lengths, over this trip at this track (Dirt). Ready to go one better.
