MAGICAL MAX (5) is a genuine type with six minor placings from eight starts this campaign. Continued the trend last time out when runner-up over 5½f at this track (Dirt) after he was always up in the leading division. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CHIEF CHITOZ (7) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Remington Park, beaten 9 lengths into fifth. Finds an easier assignment and can take this out. NJUSTLIKETHAT (6) is resuming from a lay-off of ten weeks and having his first run for the Steve F Williams yard. Was in the placings when when resuming from a lay-off last campaign at Remington Park (Dirt) over 5½f. Sound top-three prospects. COUNTRY RIDER (4) is a two-start maiden who finished sixth, beaten 23 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track (Dirt). Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
