HOG HEAVEN (2) raced on the speed when resuming last start and battled on well but found one better over 4f at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track with three minor placings from four runs. Among the leading chances. STATE SCHOOL SMART (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Will enjoy a drop in class so he can turn things around. CARPE GOLD (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 1/08/2024, finishing sixth and beaten 13 lengths over 6f at Canterbury Park (Dirt). Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. MOR TIGER PAW (1) resumes from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 5½f at Canterbury Park (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
