LOUDTHUNDRHEVYRAIN (5) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 5f at this track (Dirt) when he was in the firing line all the way.Looks well placed so expect another big run.MATZOH BALL (6) faced the starter for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fourth at this track (Dirt) over 5f, beaten 4.5 lengths.Progressive type who can play a role.JOSEPH H (7) had good support on debut but ran below expectations when fifth over 6½f at this track (Dirt).Will strip fitter and can do much better.TDZSHININLUCKYSTAR (12) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 5 lengths from the winner in sixth at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 5½f.Expected to do more.
