TOUGH LITTLE NUT (2) is racing well, scoring in a at this track (Turf) before finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1m1/2f at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Among the leading chances. STEADY ON (7) was in commission second up last start and was in the frame for the second time in as many runs this prep, finishing second over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Fitter and should go well. FREEDOM'S WAY (6) comes here off a break of nine months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1m at this track. Can make his presence felt. SMOKEY MANDATE (12) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt), finishing 9 lengths back in ninth. Nicely placed to make amends.
