MISCHIEF JOKE (2) finished second when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track. Has a win and five placings at this journey from seven starts. Perfectly placed to score. CHI TOWN HUSTLER (1) missed the placings when resuming recently but was not too far from the winner when fourth over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will play a major role. B W P SPIRIT (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on December 13 when beaten 6 lengths into fourth at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways. SHUT UP MAN (6) was beaten 7 lengths into fifth in a 6f contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
