HAGRID'S FLAME (4) found one marginally better last start over 1m1f at this track (Dirt) after being prominent throughout. Looks well placed so expect another bold performance. CAP COM (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1m1f at this track, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Yet to miss the placings in five starts over this course and distance. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. TAKE THE PLEDGE (1) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m1f at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Has a perfect second up record from three starts including last prep when successful over 1m1/4f at Penn National. Nicely placed to take this out. SECRET ZIPPER (3) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 22 lengths. This is his optimum trip with four wins from seven starts and should be in the finish.
