MIND BOLT (6) is progressing well this campaign. Opened with a ninth at Fairgrounds (Turf) two starts back then scored by 0.8 lengths last time out after being in the firing line on the bend over 1m at this track (Turf). Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. FIREBALL BIRDIE (2) finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at this track four weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. ILLUSTRATOR (1) is a talented colt who was tested in tougher class last time when fourth over 1m in stakes class at Canterbury Park (Dirt). Winning rider L Quinonez sticks. One of the contenders. THIRD STREET (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a nose from the winner in second over 7½f at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
