RAY'S GONE ASTRAY (7) bounced back last start and scored by half a length after being in the firing line on the corner over 5f at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. NEW JERSEY HEIST (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Likely improver with strong prospects. GRAND ROZZO (1) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 19 lengths when sixth in a 1m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. TAJI MIKE (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 13 lengths into eighth. The engagement of Ricardo Barrios is a positive move. No surprise to see him in the mix.
