CATEGORY TEN (2) lifted strongly to salute by 1.5 lengths three runs back at this track (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Expecting a bold showing. EXECUTIVE ACTION (3) was prominent throughout last time when second over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt), making it back-to-back minor placings since returning from a lay-off. Good chance to break through. ICE SHARD (1) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when seventh, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. BAHAMIAN NATIVE (4) pushed forward and was a determined winner by one length over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) last time out. Do not underestimate.
