THREE MARTINIS (5) had been racing well with four consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Among the leading chances. GRIFTER (8) proved too strong last start and scored by 1. 3 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Winning rider Aldo Arboleda sticks. Expecting a bold showing. JEEPS STRIDE (3) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 6½f at this track. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. MAXIMUM BULL (10) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a nice race and can play a big role again.
