TETCHED (9) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being prominent at the turn over 1m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. PITTSBURGH (1) is back from a break of ten weeks. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 1m at this track (Dirt). Has found the right race. VALID CONNECTION (4) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). Drawn to stalk the leaders. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. PACE (5) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1. 5 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp.
