BLUE BLOOD COWBOY (5) is a 20-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1m at this track (Dirt). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. EL MEXICANO (1) is yet to break through in seven runs. Finished eighth at his last appearance over 6f at this track (Dirt) on August 12 after he got a long way back in the run. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. WANDALOU'S PRIDE (2) is a eight-start maiden who finished ninth at his most recent appearance over 6f at this track (Dirt) after he gave away a big start. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. SKUNK APE (3) finished 19 lengths from the winner in sixth at his most recent outing over 6f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) after he got a long way back in the run. Appeals as a top-four contender.
