HIPPODROME (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just three wins from 43 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 5½f at this track. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. JAMES GANG (5) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 7 lengths over 4½f at Charles Town (Dirt). Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. S S TRACKSIDE FUN (6) returned from a two months break over 5½f last start and got the job done by 0. 8 lengths at this track (Dirt). Boasts three wins here. Should camp just off the leaders. Should be involved in the finish. BEYOND THE BEND (7) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 5½f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. This looks a good race for him and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
