COACH JIMI D (14) went forward last start over 1m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 15 lengths. Should be close to the speed despite the draw. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. EVEN THE WIND (12) resumes from a lay-off of nine months and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1m at this track (Turf). Has a tricky gate to overcome. Rates highly and is a strong chance to take this out. LAST RUN (10) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth over 1m1/2f at Tampa Bay Downs two weeks ago. This is a nice drop in grade so he is perfectly placed to score. RAVIN'S TOWN (2) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 3 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.
