REMI (4) is a four-start maiden who missed the placings when resuming but has since consolidated with two straight placings, the latest over 1m at this track (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Among the leading chances. TOP NOTCH PROTOCOL (7) raced on the speed and was game in defeat when a close second last start over 7f at Delta Downs (Dirt) when well supported. Has registered four minor placings from five runs this campaign. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. MUSICAL BAND (3) was among the placings on the turf over 1m at Fairgrounds Turf in a but couldn't find the top-three on the same surface last time out, finishing sixth over 7½f at Fairgrounds Turf. In the mix on best and gets chance to atone. RESCUE SQUAD (6) finished 14 lengths from the winner in seventh at his most recent outing over 5f at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) after he got a long way back in the run. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
