WORCESTER (1) is a four-year-old entire who is having his first run for the Brittany Russell stable. Scored at his latest appearance at Del Mar (Dirt) 15 months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks nicely placed. Key chance who will go close. DOC LINKOUS (9) debuted with a win two runs ago. Less impressive last time out when second over 7f at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can return to the winner's circle. LADDIE DANCE (5) turned in a sound effort when resuming on dirt when third over 5½f at this track. Came on from the run and scored on turf over 5½f at this track last time. Among the winning hopes. OPTICAL BIJOU (2) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1m1/4f at Delaware Park (Dirt) after being prominent at the turn. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to turn things around.
