MOON CONNECTION (2) is having his first run since winning by 1.5 lengths three weeks ago over 6f at this track. Has transferred to the Steve Keplin (Jnr) stable over the break. Best figures put him right in this. BIG INVESTMENT (4) last appeared three weeks ago over 6f at this track when he finished fifth. This is his first run for the Devon Gittens stable. Sure to be primed for this and a bold showing is anticipated. OPTIMISTIC VALOR (3) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 7f at North Dakota Horse Park (Dirt), getting home by 1.5 lengths. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. YOLA (1) was beaten 6 lengths into sixth over 5½f at this track at his latest appearance. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
