VALIANT SOPHIA (6) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Should feature in the finish. JD BRAVEHEART (7) is back at the races for the first time since August 4. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1f80yards at Remington Park. Has switched to the Buddy Leon Clay stable. One of the genuine hopes in the race. NEHI (9) was always well out of his ground when 2 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1f130yards at Prairie Meadows last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Prairie Meadows the run before. Finds a tougher race but a big run will not surprise. CD FAVORITE AJ (2) finished 4 lengths away in fifth at her last appearance over 1f130yards at Sweetwater County Fair (Dirt) on August 23. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
