BERNIE LOMAX (2) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 2.75 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and four placings from eight tries. Expected to be in the finish. COMFORT ME NOW (1) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing eighth and beaten 22 lengths starting at 8/1. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. DISCREET INVASION (3) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 2 lengths over 1m at Prairie Meadows (Dirt). Has been in sound form this prep with a win and four minor placings from seven outings. One of the main contenders. ONE PUTT RICHIE (6) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Hawthorne (Dirt), most recently beaten 6 lengths into third over 6f at this track (Dirt). Well placed and will be thereabouts again.
