TRUVY'S BANDIT (5) is yet to break through but has been in the money three times including last start when second over 5f at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this journey, finishing in the money on three occasions. Top chance to break through. COUNTRY CAT JAKE (4) finished third last time out over 5f at this track (Dirt), making it six career minor placings. Goes well here with six top-three finishes to his credit. Ideally placed to open his account. ARKANSAS ZONG (8) finished second last time over 5f at this track (Dirt) to make it seven minor placings from 19 career runs. Has recorded five minor placings from 12 tries at this distance. Expected to run well. FISHIN WITH PETE (7) returned from a lay-off five weeks ago when he was beaten 9 lengths into tenth over 5f at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
