HOODLUM (3) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 4.5 lengths last time out over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Reyluis Gutierrez scored on him last time and retains the ride. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. Group 3 placegetter MY BARILEY (1) was well fancied last start over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 4.5 lengths. Form this track is hard to knock with three wins from nine starts. Bold showing expected. NORDIC LIGHT (8) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 9 lengths away in third over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent form. SUPER CURIOSO (5) ran well below his best last time over 6½f at Delta Downs (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths into fifth at 3/1. Should park just off the speed. Deserves respect on best figures.
