DRAG MALIBU (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fourth over 5f at this track four weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. The engagement of A Birzer is noteworthy. Faces an easier assignment so he is set to turn things around. ALL OF US (9) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths starting at 13/8. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three minor placings. Nicely placed to bounce back. ROBUST (5) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of nine weeks and looking to emulate his win at Fonner Park to kick off the last campaign. Likely to take beating. TRUVY'S BANDIT (2) did a great job to score by a nose over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Finds another suitable race and can maintain winning form.
