MIDTERM (1) is yet to break through after five career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track (Dirt) two starts back before finishing seventh over 5½f at this track (Dirt) last start. Won't get too many better chances to open his account. PONCHO ATTACK (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 5½f at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. LONE RETURN (6) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. LA PERFECT BEE (7) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing sixth over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Worth including.
