KATE'S GOLDEN DUDE (8) was well in commission last start over 6f at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 2.25 lengths. Strong winning chance. DISTURBED (5) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only seventh over 6f at this track. Has been in the money four times over this course and distance. Well placed and should be in the finish. JEWELS IN THE BAY (7) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Facing a tougher assignment but he is worth serious consideration. POPPY'S PRIDE (3) has switched yards since finishing third three weeks ago over 6½f at this track.
