BETTA GO GO GO (4) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 2 lengths, over 6f at Aqueduct (Turf). Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. HAPPY INSTEAD (2) improved last time out, finishing 1.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 5½f at this track after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. JOE WEST (5) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1m at this track (Dirt). Worth including in this suitable contest. SPOOFY (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at Saratoga, beaten 11 lengths into seventh. No surprise to see him in the mix.
