MARSHAL (6) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at Colonial Downs (Turf) over 1m1/2f, beaten 8 lengths. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. MAGIC FACTOR (7) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in contention on the corner over 7½f at this track, an improvement on his sixth on debut at this track the run before. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves another chance. TRUTH BOMB (5) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of B H Cox. By Tapit from Shenandoah Queen. Bold showing expected. NOBLE REIGN (2) showed good speed and fought on for third over 1m at this track (Dirt) on debut last start. Among the top-three contenders.
