BARONG (6) is a four-year-old colt facing the starter for the first time. From a strong family that has produced at black type level, being by Catalina Cruiser from Wicked Speed. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Brittany Russell stable. Promising type who can open his career in the best possible way. HALLELUJAH HARRIS (4) finished third, beaten 5 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m1/4f at Penn National (Dirt) after he was in the firing line on the bend. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to make a big impact. NO BRAKE NEEDED (2) is a 14-start maiden who has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Has been in the money four times over this course and distance. Winning claims on best figures. ANNOINTED (1) returned from a lay-off six weeks ago when he was beaten 15 lengths into seventh over 7f at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
