MOUNT ASGARD (5) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 2 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HAPPY DOES (3) showed good speed here last time over 1m until tiring late and finishing seventh, beaten 8 lengths. Expected to do much better. SLEW SKIES (7) is returning from a lay-off of 11 weeks. Finished sixth at Lone Star Park (Dirt) over 6½f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Michael L Pierce. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. ORTH (2) resumes from a lay-off of 12 weeks and is having his first outing under new trainer Martinez Alexis Silva. Finished seventh at this track (Dirt) over 6f at the opening run last time in work.
