CONTROLLED TEMPER (3) got the job done in grand style last start, scoring by 0.1 lengths over this journey at this track (Dirt) after stalking the lead. Going well and should give a bold sight again. DING DING (6) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 4½f at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Sits handy in the run. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. AMERICAN BOUND (8) went forward last start over 2f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 2.75 lengths. Has the class to take this out. CRUZ IN THE CASTLE (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 4½f. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
