IRIDESCENT (6) lifted strongly to score by 3 lengths three runs back at Aqueduct (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Should park just off the speed. Best form puts him right in this. CATAHOULA MOON (3) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was prominent throughout over 6f at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. PETINGAS TWIN (7) was too good for a maiden field last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt), scoring by 9 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Jeiron Barbosa who was on board last start. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped. PLAY HARDER (4) is yet to taste defeat in two starts, the latest when resuming from a lay-off over 6f at this track (Dirt). Rates highly and hard to knock the winning form.
