SIX PACK IN THE BACK (1) is a talented filly who was well held last time out in the tougher race won by Aj Cyclone over 1f130yards at Louisiana Downs, beaten 6 lengths into ninth. Well placed in this company. EAGLE LEEDER (8) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Sergio Fuentes barn. Resumes after filling a minor placing at his latest outing five-and-a-half months ago at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Leading player expected to feature. TAKEMTOTHASTATION (10) resumes from a lay-off of five months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 2½f at Lone Star Park (Dirt). Nicely placed and can get off the mark. THE BALLIN (5) is a five-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 1. 75 lengths when fourth over 1f180yards at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
