MISTER BANDERAS (2) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 13 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 5½f at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. ASTHECOLDWINDBLOWS (8) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on February 7 over 6f when he scored by 3. 5 lengths. Winning rider Isaac Castillo retains the mount. Meeting a tougher field but on current form he is capable of testing his rivals. STARRY EYED (4) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. C F SPUNIE STYLE (7) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last time over 6½f at Delta Downs (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Capable of another strong performance.
