LIGHTNIN RUNNER (8) returns from a lay-off of nine months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fifth over 7f at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will prove tough to beat. BARBERS POINT (5) last appeared on November 9 when a good fourth over 1m1f in stakes class at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. SEVEN NATTY PATTY (1) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh, beaten 6 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 6½f. Facing a tougher assignment but she is good enough to turn things around. FRENCHIES GOLD (2) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it four wins from six starts this campaign. Going well and is not to be discounted.
