PONTUS (7) saluted at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in the firing line on the bend before finishing second over 6f at this track, beaten half a length. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. TRUIST (1) finds it hard to win with just one success from 34 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 6f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. GRAYHOP (6) fought on well for third last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Another big run expected. SPAN (4) turned in a better run last start, beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 6f at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.
