WEST IS WEST (1) finished fifth over 1m at Emerald Downs (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on August 1. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. LUCKY'S SNIPER (8) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 9 lengths when fifth over 4½f at Los Alamitos Qh two-and-a-half weeks ago. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FANCY DANCER (3) is a seven-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid fourth at this track (Dirt) over 5f. Likely improver with strong prospects. TOWHEE (2) is a nine-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at this track (Dirt) over 5½f, beaten 5 lengths. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
