ALL THE HARDWAYS (5) will find this a little easier than his second on debut three-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 2 lengths at the end of 4½f at this track (Dirt). Has plenty of upside so he shouldn't be a maiden for long. REPEATINGOFCOURSE (1) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 9 lengths when fifth in a 4½f contest at this track three weeks ago. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. SUMMERINTHECOUNTRY (6) is having his second run after he failed to threaten on debut last time, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Better for that experience and expected to be competitive. LITTLE BIT RISKY (7) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of John E Salzman Jr. By Great Notion from Foreverinmyheart. Worth watching for a betting push.
