Scrappy artie (5) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish second when resuming last start at this course and distance.Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and four minor placings from nine starts.Well placed and should be in the finish.Hostile afleet (4) was a dominant winner last time over 6½f at this track (dirt), getting home by 2.75 lengths.Expecting a bold showing.Penetrator (1) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 5f at this track (dirt), beaten 6 lengths.Sure to be competitive.Sir eli (6) returns from a layoff of three months.Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 6f at prairie meadows.One to consider.
