CHIEF CHEETAH (6) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. MINT (7) finished fifth when resuming from a break on turf over 1m1/2f at Lone Star Park then backed it up with a minor placing but on dirt over 1m1/4f at this track last time. Making progress. Worth following up back on turf. MORE ICE (4) returns from a lay-off of five months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 1m1/4f at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. One to consider. WARTIME HERO (2) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.3 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Capable of another strong performance.
