WISE VERDICT (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) over 1m1/2f after being in the firing line all the way. Has the ability to take this out. LAURI'S WISH (1) was prominent from the outset when third over 6½f at this track (Dirt) last time out. Ready to run very well. LANGS DAY (12) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 11 lengths away in fifth last time out over 6f at Fairgrounds three-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has a solid record here at the distance with three wins and a minor placing from six tries. Has claims on his best efforts. COSMIC TRAIN (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 16 lengths into fifth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
