OHIO PLAYER (6) turned in a fine effort to score by 5.5 lengths at this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Nicely placed to take this out. FIRSTHAND JUSTICE (3) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 6f at this track (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HOPPY GILMORE (8) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 6f. Sound record at this distance with four wins and seven minor placings from 14 runs and is capable of going well. GIV'EM THE BIZ (5) was prominent at the turn and finished third last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with top-three claims again.
