RUSE DYNASTY 123 (5) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 0. 3 lengths from the winner in second over 1½f at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. RUN FOR THE PRIZE (7) returns from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished ninth in Group 3 grade at Delta Downs (Dirt) over 2f when when resuming last time in work. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. LIL KOOL CAT (6) resumes from a lay-off of ten weeks. Has filled a minor placing at both when resuming runs. Opened last prep with a third over 1½f at Lone Star Park. Bold showing expected. POWER BY BLACK (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2f at Evangeline Downs, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. Well placed to make amends.
