HAMMERIN AAMER (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at Thistledown, beaten 7 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. WAR NOVEL (8) disappointed at his last run three months ago when seventh at Laurel (Dirt), that effort following back-to-back wins. Opened last prep with a minor placing over 1m at this track. Set to run well on fresh legs. PEPPER PIKE (2) scored last start at Belterra Park (Dirt) to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Certainly one to consider again. SERVE REVENGE COLD (7) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fifth over 1m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. In the mix.
