THE MAGICIAN (7) went forward last start over 1f80yards at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 0. 8 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. ALL THAT YARD (2) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to just miss when second over 1f at this track (Dirt). Should run on into the finish again. SHEAZA HERO (3) is going well, scoring by 0. 3 lengths two runs back at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) before finishing fourth last time over 1f at this track (Dirt). One of the contenders again. FANCY PAINTS (5) is returning from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Finished ninth at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) over 1f31yards at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Ismael Solis Guevara.
