PRODIGY PARADISE (7) was always well out of his ground when 21 lengths from the winner in seventh over 5½f at Fairgrounds last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Fairgrounds the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SUMMERTIME PEPPERS (4) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing sixth over 5½f at Fairgrounds (Turf) last start. Well placed to make amends. SECRET ROAD (2) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 2.5 lengths at this track (Dirt). Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Winning rider C Lozada sticks. Sure to be competitive. EL REAL DEAL (1) showed good early speed over 5f at this track (Dirt) on debut last start and went on to salute by 5 lengths. Must be respected.
