DOCTOR PARDO (8) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 7f at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. CANDY FOR JUBA (4) is mixing his form, the latest effort a seventh over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. TOUCHED UP (1) was safely held when seventh last time out over 6½f at this track, beaten 12 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. RAISE A RUCKUS (7) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.3 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose.
