CANDY'S WILDCAT (2) scored by half a length last time out over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Excellent record here having never missed the placings in three starts, including two wins and one placing. Sure to run well. MAJOR TOM (7) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 5½f, finishing fifth and beaten 2. 75 lengths. Will drift back but wind up late. Will prove tough to beat. STOP AND A TRES (9) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1. 75 lengths at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track with one win and two minor placings. Can measure up again. EL MUCHO (5) hit the frame two starts ago at Hawthorne but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 12 lengths over 6f at Hawthorne (Dirt). Finds a nice race and can make amends.
