HANGIN' TUFF (2) is a four-start maiden who finished fifth after being in the firing line on the corner at his most recent appearance over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. ELLS (8) got a long way back when 12 lengths from the winner in tenth over 5½f at Fairgrounds last start, a less impressive effort than his seventh on debut at Fairgrounds the run before. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. MALADJUSTED MISFIT (5) has raced twice. Was third on debut then clocked-in 14 lengths from the winner in seventh last time out over 5f at this track. Has the pace to be prominent from the outset. Strong chance this time. NOT LIKELY (6) finished 15 lengths away in fourth at his last appearance over 6½f at this track (Dirt) on January 20. This looks a nice race so expect him to finish closer.
