BRIAN'S IRON MIKE (9) was a gutsy winner last time over 5½f at this track (Turf), scoring by 0.8 lengths to make it two wins on the bounce. Has a fine record here with two wins from five starts. Among the leading chances. GEAUX SUGAR (4) finished runner-up on dirt over 6f at this track in a then filled another minor placing last start on the same surface at Delta Downs, beaten one length over the 5f journey. Mitchell Murrill who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Likely to feature. NINE PART (16) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it three wins from three starts this campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will give backers a great sight. EL DINERO (3) turned in another moderate effort last start when 12 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1m1/2f at this track. Worth noting Jim Graham goes aboard. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
