FAITH'S SPIRIT (3) is a eight-start maiden who was in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second at the latest appearance over 6f at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Going well enough to test this field. PERFECT DIAL (7) was below his best last time, finishing eighth and beaten 25 lengths over 6f at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. DERO'S DEPUTY (6) closed last prep six months ago when he finished fourth over 6½f at Remington Park. Must be respected. THE BIRDMAN (5) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last time over 6f at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 5 lengths. In the right race and is one of the better hopes.
