MR SHORTY (4) is a maiden with three minor placings to his name. Could not improve on that record when resuming last start, winding up in seventh over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Placed at his only other second up appearance. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. IMPOVERISHED (2) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound third over 6f at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with winning claims. CAPOTE'S GLITTER (6) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of eight months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 4f at Gillespie County Fairground (Dirt). Commenced last prep with a minor placing at Gillespie County Fairground over 5½f. Nicely placed and can get off the mark. TOOTHMAN (3) finished 11 lengths from the winner in fifth at his most recent appearance over 6f at Will Rogers Downs (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. Among the better chances in what looks a nice race.
