PROFESSIONAL (7) is a genuine type with two minor placings from three starts this prep. Turned in another good effort last time out when second over 6f at this track (Dirt) after he was in the firing line all the way. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. KOSELIO (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 16 lengths when seventh over 1m at this track six weeks ago. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. OWN THE TOWN (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when seventh over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt). Has the talent to return to the winners' list. OFFUTT COLE (1) finished midfield at his first run back from a lay-off last start, beaten 8 lengths over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Luis Tapara stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Fitter and should play a role in the finish.
