BROWN BANDIT (2) was only 0.3 lengths from the winner in second last time out in a small field over 3f213yards at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Juan Francisco Jr Garcia stays aboard. Will strip fitter and is one of the big chances. CC TOAST TO ME (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing third and only 1.75 lengths from the winner at the end of 3f213yards. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. POONIE SUE (4) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 3f213yards at this track, beaten 9 lengths. That followed a win at Evangeline Downs at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. VF UP THE MONEY (1) was beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 2f at this track at his latest appearance. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
