BIG JOE B (6) could only manage fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6½f at this track, beaten only one length after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. COASTAL CRUISE (5) is a three-year-old gelding who lines up for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Competitive Edge from Smart Crowd. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Jeff Runco yard. Promising type who looks set to play a big role. GHOSTLY LEO (4) resumes from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish eighth at the latest run over 7f at this track (Dirt). Among the chances while fresh. WISHFUL THOUGHTS (2) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.3 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
