RIDE THE BRAND (5) went forward last start over 4½f at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 0.4 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can run another big race. MAGICAL SURPRISE (1) recorded his maiden win six back and is ready to score again after a couple of recent minor placings, the latest when third at this track (Dirt). Reshawn Latchman stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Leading contender. VALHALLA'S PALACE (2) drifted back over 6½f here last time before winding up late to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths. Among the chances and will be tough to stop. RAISE A RUCKUS (3) produced another moderate effort last start when 9 lengths from the winner in sixth over 4½f at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
