MIDNIGHT COUNCIL (6) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths starting at 17/2. Has the talent to take this out. BANG A RANG (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 6f at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. BUCKEYE MIKE (5) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt), finishing 10 lengths from the winner in fifth. Best form augers well for this. GRAND BEY (4) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt), finishing 21 lengths from the winner in eighth. Capable of featuring.
