DRAFT CHOICE (5) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout.Likely improver with strong prospects.SHARP CHARLIE (3) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 1.75 lengths over 5f at this track (Dirt).Joel Dominguez scored on him last time and retains the ride.Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is right in contention.ONE TOUGH CHARLIE (1) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing second and only 1.75 lengths from the winner at the end of 5f after being prominent at the bend.It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders.BANKROLL (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 7 lengths away in seventh over 5f at this track.Elio J Barrera gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding.Capable of featuring prominently.
