GOOD APPLE (5) made progress last start to finish second over 6f at this track after being in contention on the turn. Meeting a deeper field this time but he cannot be underestimated. STRANGE ARRANGE (4) was disappointing over 6f at this track (Dirt) last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. HOPPIN JOHN (6) was an effortless winner last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), scoring by 12 lengths. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and two minor placings from five outings. Should be involved in the finish. MY CRAZY NEIGHBOR (8) lifted strongly to score two runs back then was prominent in the run last time before finishing fifth over 6f at this track (Dirt). Can bounce back to winning form.
